We Danced

The bar was empty, I was sweepin’ up the floor

That’s when she walked in,

I said “I’m sorry but we’re closed”

but I’m afraid I left my purse”

I said “I put one back behind the bar,

I bet it’s probably yours”

And the next thing that I knew there we were,

lost in conversation

And before I handed her her purse I said,

“you’ll only get this back on one condition”?

And we danced,

out there on that empty hardwood floor

The chairs up and the lights turned way down low

The music played we held each other close

And we danced.

And from that moment, there was never any doubt

I had found the one that I had always dreamed about

And then one evening,

when she stopped by after work

I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt

And as her eyes filled up with tears, she said

“This is the last thing I expected”

And then she took me by the hand and said

“I’ll only marry you on one condition”

And we danced,

Like no one else had ever danced before

I can’t explain what happened on that floor

But the music played we held each other close

And we danced, yeah we danced.
