[Intro – Spoken, sultry with a smirk] Pour that whiskey, turn it up, There's a little moonlight left in my cup. I've got a thousand tales beneath my skin… Come on, darlin', let's dance again. [Verse 1] I've waltzed with fangs beneath the midnight moon, Heard dragons howl to a wild guitar tune. Threw my luck against a sky full of gold, Sent giants running when the dice were rolled. A circus queen on a silver wire, Flying through the air like a runaway fire. With a snap of leather and a wicked grin, I could stop a whole room when I walked in. [Pre-Chorus] I've worn the stars, I've chased the flame, I've loved a few and forgot some names. There's a thousand roads beneath my feet, And every one has a different beat. [Chorus – Big, catchy, memorable hook] Oh, dance me back to the wild, wild nights, Where the moon was silver and the stars burned bright. Spin me around, let the old world fade, We've got a brand-new memory waiting to be made. Maybe we met where the heavens collide, Maybe you loved me in another lifetime. But the past's a song that the wind blew away— So kiss me at midnight and dance while we may! Dance while we may! (Hey!) Dance while we may! [Verse 2] I've said "forever" where the blue stars shine, With a silver promise and a hand in mine. I've chased down treasures through enchanted halls, Found rare little wonders behind hidden walls. Barefoot dancing where the warm sand glows, Then raising hell where the cold beer flows. Welcoming strangers through the smoky haze, While whiskey and laughter carried us away. There were pointy ears and a mischievous grin, And golden cat eyes that could pull you in. Some hearts stayed true, some vanished like rain, Some left a kiss, some left a chain. [Pre-Chorus 2] I've watched love bloom, I've watched it die, Seen flower gardens underneath the sky. I've sailed by moonlight, felt the river roll, And carried old stories deep in my soul. [Chorus – Stronger, add harmonies] Oh, dance me back to the wild, wild nights, Where the moon was silver and the stars burned bright. Spin me around, let the old world fade, We've got a brand-new memory waiting to be made. Maybe we met where the heavens collide, Maybe you loved me in another lifetime. But the past's a song that the wind blew away— So kiss me at midnight and dance while we may! Dance while we may! (Hey!) Dance while we may! [Verse 3 – More country, nostalgic storytelling] I rode dusty roads on two spinning wheels, Chasing the freedom that a wild heart feels. There was a loft where the laughter rang, A cabin fire where the nightbirds sang. I wore a crown with a promise to keep, To treat my own with a heart that's deep. To lead with mercy, to stand up fair, To guard the ones who trusted me there. I've lived a thousand stories, or so they say, With a little more magic in every yesterday. And if the stars have crossed our paths before, There's still a whole lot of life outside that door. [Bridge – Music drops, intimate and emotional] Maybe somewhere in the great unknown, We shared a kingdom, we called it home. Maybe the stars remember your name, While my memories flicker like candle flames. I won't deny what the heavens might know, Or all the places our souls could go. But darling, tonight is the hand we're dealt, And I want this dance more than tales we've told. [Breakdown – Spoken, teasing] Now don't go getting all heartbroken on me… The night's still young. And that whiskey ain't drinking itself. Come on, handsome. Show me what you've got. [Final Chorus – Full band, explosive singalong] Oh, dance me back to the wild, wild nights, Where the moon was silver and the stars burned bright. Spin me around, let the old world fade, We've got a brand-new memory waiting to be made. Maybe we met where the heavens collide, Maybe you loved me in another lifetime. But the past's a song that the wind blew away— So kiss me at midnight and dance while we may! Dance while we may! (Hey!) Dance while we may! If the stars bring us back through a million goodbyes, I'll still take your hand underneath these skies. No need for a crown, no need for a throne, Just a little moonlight and a heart of our own. [Outro – Fiddle, guitar, playful fade] So spin me around, let the whole world sway, We've got tonight, and that's plenty to say. A million lifetimes, a million ways… But I choose this dance. Dance while we may! Yeah, dance while we may…
