Save The First Dance

Did you get the message that I tried to send you
I don't know if it ever went through
I thought maybe that balloon would be a way reach you
Release it at the end of the party
That was thrown just for you

You would have rolled your eyes at what we made you wear
No, don't blame me I wasn't prepared
For this kind of nightmare
And I made a promise that I'd live for you
But this pain makes me want to die

In my dreams, I save the last dance for you
There's stars in your eyes as you pull me tighter and I'll
Wait forever for just one more chance with you
In my dreams, I get one night on the other side
I fall asleep and it brings you back to life
And if it's better than we ever could have believed
Will you save the first dance for me?

Do you feel just how much that we all miss you
I bet you've made a visit or two
I thought you'd be there til my dying day, old and gray
Watch the family play from the front porch swing
But then you went away

I'd bring you back to life just so I could tell you again
I'm so mad you took my heart with you
And left me here broken
And I know I promised that I'd live for you

So when I get where I'm going
When heaven's more than just your eyes
I'll say you we're always on my mind
You'll say baby I was always by your side
The day I follow the sunshine
Leading me to the love of my afterlife

And we'll have the best seats at the parade
On the day they lay me down in that grave
And when they feel me in the wind
They'll smile knowing I found you again

In my dreams, I save the last dance for you
There's stars in your eyes as you pull me tighter and I'll
Wait forever for just one more chance with you
In my dreams, I get one night on the other side
I fall asleep and it brings you back to life
And if it's better than we ever could have believed
Will you save the first dance for me
