Last Dance

This is a song I wrote about a year ago after my school dance.  It's about constantly holding onto that slight chance that all your expectations and fairy tale stories will come true.  But sometimes they don't.  Sometimes you have to accept that there may not be that last dance.

Lyrics:
The lights fade, the spotlight glowing
I see your face and I wish you'd stay
You pick me up, said "You look gorgeous"
I didn't mean to turn around

Come back, won't you?  Come back.
I've been holding on to that chance
of our last dance.

The music slows, they've all got someone to hold
I look for you in a crowded room
The time goes by, the end of the night
I realize that you're no longer mine


Come back, won't you?  Come back.
I've been holding on to that chance
of our last dance.
