Last Dance

I remember Abilene
And their roadside swimming hole
I hardly knew you at all back then
But I knew that you moved my soul

Everything’s changing around us
But your eyes are still blue
Couples are piling up like car wrecks
While I’m still dancing with you

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying
I always said I was my own woman
Baby, I guess I was lying
Is this the last dance alone together?
Let’s make this dance last forever

I remember all the promises
And the sad eyes of the strangers
I remember the cold wars
And the devils and the angels

I remember the first time we made love
You were so much more than a lover
The angels laughed, and said
“it’s about time those two pilgrims found each other”

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying
I always said I was my own woman
Baby, I guess I was lying
Is this the last dance alone together?
Let’s make this dance last forever

How many times did we finally decide
We’d reached the end
Only to find our love in each other’s eyes again?

“Is this the last dance?” I’m crying
I always said I was my own woman
Baby, I guess I was lying
Is this the last dance alone together?
Let’s make this dance last forever
