Burning the Ballroom Down

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
But 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 thought 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 sweet romance
Baby, give me one more 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 ears
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 don't break my vow
I loved you then and baby, I love you now

I don't really want to know
So when you've gotta go just go
But, baby, please don't tell me no
Let's have one more dance
(one more dance)
If it's not asking too much
(give me one more dance)
Baby, won't you touch me, I'm burning down
(one more dance)
Burning
(give me one more dance)
Burning down
(one more dance)
(give me one more dance)

(one more dance)
(give me one more dance)
Baby, help me burn it down
(one more dance)
(give me one more dance)
