I We sat so far apart Waiting for the other To make their move Finally you came over With a hand stretched out To me and no one else My heart was kind And did not beat My mind was calm And did not scream For once I was happy at This one sweet chance And not worried about the Things to come from So we walked to the floor Carefully holding One anothers hand And found a spot made Just for us... II I think of moving closer But fear takes a hold And so I just stay back While its you I want to hold When will I get the courage To make my move I've gone this far and only need One more inch Two more at the most Then i will be happy Twirling about the dnace floor With you holding me all the while But I can't And you won't Cause you feel the fear too. But as we dance I know in the back of my mind That soon, This song, And the sweetest dance ever Would have to come to an end III I know this song I know the moment it will end And that moment is coming soon The song has just a few more words And only a few more notes to play I don't want this to end This is the first time I feel welcome But the song must end So i keep moving closer Closer and closer So it takes longer to end So I won't worry so much About what we will do After this one sweet moment ends But the words count down And slowly the music fades away But we don't move apart, We stay there holding eachother As if there is no tomorrow Then and there I know You don't want this to end But you won't do as I hoped You won't lean in Ever so softly and ever so sweetly Kiss me as we walk off the floor The End
