Last Dance

It's a fine night to be forgetting
As the moon shines so magically through this hall of elegance
You're a fine sight; one I know too well
As the memories I locked away fly back into relevance
And we stuck straight to the plan
To save ourselves, we had to run away and take new lovers in our hands, but do I have the strength to live to see The next day?

I've seen you wear that dress before
With the colors of the waves along the shore
And I've seen your lips behave that way, teamed up with your eyes
I wonder if it's just for show anymore
Young lovers dance their foolish dance, I try to finish my drink
As he does with you the moves I can only wish to achieve
She holds my hand and kisses me
You see us once and fill with hidden rage
So jealous of her never-ending grace that you forgot that's just what drew me to you when you were in her place

I used to see Coney Island at night when I looked into your eyes
Why do blessings land so far from where I stand?
And we never reached the final frontier of our pastime paradise
Though I've memorized the freckles on your hand
I can try to forget all of our aspirations, but not forget our life
Can you show me how to survive?
Before the last dance comes up in five
The gods of love will still be talking jive
And so, we'll dance
