[Verse 1]
I remember
The first time we danced
Every footstep in tandem with yours
I remember
The dress that I wore
Saying, "Daddy, come watch how I twirl"
And time is a funny, funny thing
The more you look back
The clearer you see
And I've got a million memories
And they're spinning around
Just like you spinning me
[Chorus]
It's not our first dance
And it's not our last
So, let's make it a slow one
'Cause life moves too fast
I can't believe we're here
In what once was "one day," mm
So, let's sway here in 6/8
And just let the music play, mm
[Verse 2]
I remember
Every question I asked
Like, "Why can't I just marry you, Dad?"
I can't remember
If there were tears in your eyes
Or if you and Mom sat back and laughed
'Cause time is such a menace and a thief
First, you wanna fast-forward
Then try to press "freeze"
And we've made a million memories
And this one right here
Is one I'm gonna keep
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not our first dance
And it's not our last
So, let's make it a slow one
'Cause life moves too fast
I can't believe we're here
In what once was "one day"
So, let's sway here in 6/8
And just let the music play
[Bridge]
Pictures of Pop-Tarts and Paris and Montmartre
And birthday surprises
Seeking and hiding
As I'm getting older
I'm still on your shoulders
Just look where we are now
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not our first dance
And it's not our last
So, let's make it a slow one
'Cause life moves too fast
I can't believe we're here
In what once was "one day"
Your suit jacket looks great
Does my dress look okay?
Let's sway here in 6/8
And just let the music play
