Last Dance

I remember Abilene

And their roadside swimming hole

I hardly knew you at all back then

But I knew that you moved my soul

Everything’s changing around us

But your eyes are still blue

Couples are piling up like car wrecks

While I’m still dancing with you

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying

I always said I was my own woman

Baby, I guess I was lying

Is this the last dance alone together?

Let’s make this dance last forever

I remember all the promises

And the sad eyes of the strangers

I remember the cold wars

And the devils and the angels

I remember the first time we made love

You were so much more than a lover

The angels laughed, and said

“it’s about time those two pilgrims found each other”

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying

I always said I was my own woman

Baby, I guess I was lying

Is this the last dance alone together?

Let’s make this dance last forever

How many times did we finally decide

We’d reached the end

Only to find our love in each other’s eyes again?

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying

I always said I was my own woman

Baby, I guess I was lying

Is this the last dance alone together?

Let’s make this dance last forever
