Slow Country Dance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on the floor the couples are swaying
To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight
You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing
A slow country dance on a Saturday night
Sweethearts in love and others just lonely
Searching for someone to waltz with tonight
In a smoky old bar you know that it's only
A slow country dance on a Saturday night

[Chorus]
And love's never easy or ever as true
When the changing of partners is no longer new
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time

[Verse 2]
Down at the bar a woman tells stories
Batting her eyes to someone not there
Her glass is half full or maybe half empty
Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear
And now the perfume is cheap and the make-up is careless
And the dress are out of fashion for a woman her age
But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish
A much lighter step and a much younger face

[Chorus]
And love's never easy or ever as true
When the changing of partners is no longer new
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time

[Outro]
Out on the floor the couples are swaying
To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight
