[Verse 1]
Your hand in mine
Shaking just a little
Dress catching stars
In the cheap room mirror
You laughed it off
Said
"Hold me like you mean it"
I pulled you close
Tried to freeze the evening
[Pre-Chorus]
Every slow step
Every breath between us
I kept thinking
How do I leave this
[Chorus]
Dancing with you for the last time
Heart saying stay
Clock saying goodbye
You spun around
And I memorized your eyes
Every turn
Every sigh
(oh) I was tracing your outline
Like I'd never see you in this light
Dancing with you for the last time
For the last time
[Verse 2]
Your head on me
Counting down the measures
You hummed the tune
Soft and off the record
I felt your tears
Fall and hide in my shirt
You whispered low
"This is gonna hurt"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every small joke
Every stolen minute
I kept praying
Time might forget to finish
[Chorus]
Dancing with you for the last time
Heart saying stay
Clock saying goodbye
You spun around
And I memorized your eyes
Every turn
Every sigh
(yeah) I was tracing your outline
Like I'd never see you in this light
Dancing with you for the last time
For the last time
[Bridge]
[Choir softly swelling]
If I could fold this floor
Slip it into my pocket
Replay the way you swore
We'd meet again
Don’t drop it
Your lips said "go"
Your arms said "never"
We kept on moving
Like we had forever
[Chorus]
Dancing with you for the last time
Heart saying stay
Clock saying goodbye
You spun around
And I memorized your eyes
Every turn
Every sigh
(oh) I was tracing your outline
Like I'd never see you in this light
Dancing with you for the last time
For the last time
[Outro]
Song fading out
But we keep on swaying
Room turning dark
Still
I keep replaying
Dancing with you for the last time
One last time (one last time)
