Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and, Lord, it took me away
Back to a first glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
Took off faster than a green light, go
Yeah, you skipped the conversation when you already know
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
And that was the first day
[Chorus]
And, darling, it was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Verse 2]
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
We blocked the noise with the sound of "I need you"
And for the first time, I had something to lose
And I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
But, sometimes, I wonder how you think about it now
And I see your face in every crowd
[Chorus]
'Cause, darling, it was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Bridge]
Tonight, I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance, if I'm not dancing with you
Tonight, I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance, if I'm not dancing with you
[Chorus]
It was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Bridge]
Tonight, I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance, if I'm not dancing with you
Tonight, I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance, if I'm not dancing with you
