Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your shoes were two sizes too big once
You’d stand on my toes just to spin
Now you’re walking up smiling through teardrops
And they’re placing your hand in my hand again
Everyone’s turning and watching
But I only see you in that dress
Little freckles I counted at bedtime
Under all of this lace and this mess
[Chorus]
So let me have
Dad’s last first dance
One more slow circle
While the whole world laughs and claps
You lean in close
I feel your heartbeat through my hands
I’m giving you away
But I’m holding on as long as I can
In Dad’s last first dance
[Verse 2]
Do you remember the kitchen at midnight
Hot cocoa and cartoons on low
You’d stand on a chair at the counter
Say
“Daddy
Don’t ever let go”
Now someone else will be waiting
Where my boots used to sit by the door
You whisper
“He loves me like you do”
And I can’t ask for much more
[Chorus]
So let me have
Dad’s last first dance
One more slow circle
While the whole world laughs and claps
You lean in close
I feel your heartbeat through my hands
I’m giving you away
But I’m holding on as long as I can
In Dad’s last first dance
[Bridge]
You say
“Dad
It’s okay if you’re crying” (yeah)
I say
“I’ve been crying since you turned thirteen”
Every birthday
Every broken-heart driveway
Was rehearsal for this scene
[Chorus]
So let me have
Dad’s last first dance
One more slow circle
While the whole world fades to black
You lean in close
And say
“I’ll always be your little girl back home”
I’m letting you go
But I’ll never really loosen my hands
From Dad’s last first dance
[Outro]
Music slows
Lights blur
You spin out
He takes your hand
I step back to the edge of the dance floor
Still feeling
That last first dance

dance, Intimate contemporary ballad with male vocals, soft piano as the spine, warm pad swells, and brushed drums. Verses stay close and conversational; chorus blossoms with string quartet and subtle pedal steel for ache. Gentle backing harmonies in the hook, sparse reverb so every word feels in the room.
