Dance Real Slow

I see you over in the corner, nursing your big girl drink
It’s Friday night, you’re all alone, it might be temporary
But it’s always later than you think

You smile and I can see that you’ve been crying
You think no one can understand
You’re lonely as Christmas with no one around
So may I offer you my hand?

I want to Dance Real Slow and mean it
Move you all around the floor
Till the hours go like dominoes
And we dance right out the door
Let the world fall down around you
Save all your tears for me
I’ll be here to hold you
Tenderly

I want to Dance Real Slow and keep it up
While the night becomes the day
And the morning says it’s time to go
But I’ll beg you please, please stay
Let the world fall down around us
Save all your tears for me
I’ll be here to hold you
Tenderly

What are the odds
In all this sorrow
Anyone would even care?
All this time is borrowed
So let’s just take what’s there

And if we keep on dancing
The song may never end
Can’t you hear the music beckoning
From just around the bend?
Let the world fall down around us
Save all your tears for me
Time will pass
What will be will be
I will always hold you
Tenderly
