One Final Turn (Classical Waltz - Vocals)

[Verse 1] The chandeliers shimmer in rivers of gold, A map of the stories our silhouettes hold. One step to the left, and a step to the right, We float through the room on the tide of the night. The clock on the wall has forgotten the hour, We sway like the stem of a wind-shaken flower. [Chorus] So spin me away where the orchestra plays, Lost in the warmth of a dizzying haze. The keys of the piano are weeping in time, Your hand in my hand, and your heartbeat in mine. We rise and we fall with the pull of the string, Learning what only a sorrow can sing. [Verse 2] The hemlines are sweeping the dust from the floor, As if we are drifting away from the shore. The cello speaks low, like a secret confessed, A momentary peace in a world of unrest. Forget the tomorrow that waits at the gate, Tonight we are mocking the shadows of fate. [Chorus] So spin me away where the orchestra plays, Lost in the warmth of a dizzying haze. The keys of the piano are weeping in time, Your hand in my hand, and your heartbeat in mine. We rise and we fall with the pull of the string, Learning what only a sorrow can sing. [Bridge] (The music climbs to a dramatic, thunderous peak here) And if the music should suddenly fade, Remember the beautiful promise we made. Before the last candle is stolen by dawn, Hold to the rhythm... dance on and dance on... [Guitar/Piano Outro] (The orchestra slows down, leaving only a lingering piano melody) One final turn... Before the day breaks. One final turn... Whatever it takes. (A final, soft piano chord fades out into silence)
