Lyrics

Your dress, it was brand new
Silky and bright blue
And matching the shade of your eyes
My first dance elation
And slow hesitation
Was better with your hand in mine
We danced in the school gym
And sometime that evenin’
The awkwardness all slipped away
The end of the evening
You leaned closer to me
And one last song started to play

It's a slow dance
Waltz with me darlin’
You're looking so lovely tonight
I'm stumbling
And my movements are clumsy
But there's something I see in your eyes
Put your head on my shoulder
And sway to the music
I know it’s the very first time
But I'm wishing this moment
Could go on forever
So dance me a slow dance tonight

Your dress was a vision
Of splendid perfection
So beautiful, lovely, and white
The church hall was crowded
And decked out with flowers
And lit up by soft c andlelight
We smiled for the camera
And laughed with the family
And cheered when you tossed the bouquet
The reception was ending
A new life beginning
And one last song started to play

It's a slow dance
Waltz with me darlin’
You're looking so lovely tonight
I'm stumbling
And my movements are clumsy
But there's something I see in your eyes
Put your head on my shoulder
And sway to the music
I'm having the very best time
I'm wishing this moment
Could go on forever
So dance me a slow dance tonight

We danced through the years
In the hall or the kitchen
Little pieces of time going by
All the hopes and the fears
And the big life decisions
Were better with you by my side
And I know my old feet
They don’t move like they used to
But I’m willing to give it a try
‘Cause I’m feeling the beat
Of a song I remember
So dance with me, won’t you, tonight

One more slow dance
Waltz with me darlin
You're looking so lovely tonight
I'm stumbling
And my movements are clumsy
But there's something I see in your eyes
Put your head on my shoulder
And sway to the music
This might be the very last time
And I'm wishing this moment
Would go on forever
So dance me this slow dance good night
Good night
