It was ‘99, someone else’s “I do”
Small town wedding, sky so blue
She was sittin’ quiet under the moonlight
Dress like summer, smile like the night
I was just a kid, telling my mamma
“It’s time to go,” we weren’t parked far
But something grabbed me, wouldn’t let go
A pull in my chest only my soul could know
I turned back, heart in my throat
Walked up shy, afraid of her sayin’ no
That one dance lit a fire in the dark
Two small souls with a heaven-sent spark
Didn’t know her name, but I felt it true
Like the stars whispered, “She’s for you”
I said, “Before I leave, would you dance with me?”
Right there with a borrowed song
We swayed like time forgot its plans
One glance, one chance, one dance
No words, just hands and a drifting tune
Two kids dancing under the moon and stars
Then I was gone, and so was she
But that moment stayed inside of me
Years rolled by like westbound trains
Different roads, different last names
But love like that—it finds a way
To circle back when the timing’s right
That one dance lit a fire in the dark
Two small souls with a heaven-sent spark
Didn’t know her name, but I felt it true
Like the stars whispered, “She’s for you”
We were kids, but the rhythm ran deep
And love like that don’t ever sleep
One memory I’d always romance
One glance, one chance, one dance
Then one day, on the streets of Fresno
I looked up—and time said, “Told you so”
Same brown eyes, same soul-catching grin
She said, “Took you long enough to find me again”
That one dance lit a fire in the dark
And after all those years, it still sparked
No map, no clock, just destiny’s hand
Two old souls finally taking a stand
Now every night, we dance real slow
Right here in the lights of Fresno
From a borrowed song to a wedding band
One life, one love…
From one brave dance
That one dance… back in ’99
