Burning the Ballroom Down - James H.Brown Jr., Russell Smith
Hello girl
Or should I say goodbye
I know now by the look in your eye
Though the years have treated you well
And I know nobody else can tell
I know why you`re here
You can`t hide something like that from me, my dear
I can almost read your mind
You can`t go without saying goodbye and so
Here we are
Let`s have one more drink, they`re closing the bar
I remember how we danced and romanced
And hovered on the brink of love, when it was new
I thougt my life began and ended these
Dreams of loving you
But then time began to make a difference
Between what we say and what we do
But it's not everyone who gets a chance
To ever have a romance
So baby please let`s dance
Let`s have one more dance before
Burning the ballroom down
I saw myself in your eyes
I was a king
You whispered in my ear
And I could hear the angels sing
And now you`re smiling into my eyes
Trying to deny all these things
They`re just memories to me now
And everything has changed somehow
But that dont`t break my vow
I loved you then and baby I love you now
I don`t really want to know
So when you gotta go just go
But baby please don`t tell me no
But baby please don`t tell me no,
Give me one more dance
But baby please don`t tell me no,
"One more dance"
If it`s not asking too much
If it`s not asking too much give me one more dance
Baby won`t you touch me
I`m burnin`down
One more dance
Give me one more dance
