One Last Dance

One last dance before the night is over
One last glimpse of your smile
Steps that we've taken a thousand times
One last dance for a while

One last song, our voices lifted skyward
Harmonies gleaming like stars
Tunes that awaken from deep in our hearts
One last song for a while

In a waltz, time is spinning
Her cheeks flushed and bright
Her dark eyes are locked onto mine

Every step a beginning
Every turn a delight
Till the first hints of dawn
And the sad parting time

One soft kiss to sweeten the sorrow
A moment so often reprised
Words that we've spoken now ripple, now calm
One last dance for a while
