The starts; it was a late November night She had a flower in her hair; he had his on tight He patrolled his watch, like nothing else was She danced by him her face as pale as dawn He looked into her eyes and saw there He said, "Excuse me seorita, but I believe we've had the pleasure" She said "Of course you know me; I'm every year, But don't you get to close I'm dancing my dear" He thought, "How can I not fall in with that, A pretty little women an attitude to match" He reached for her hand, and she impressed, She wanted little to do his gentle caress. Won't you dance me tonight? my hand under the moonlight All we is just today Until my bones just away. And this happened every .. Every year clockwork. But let me first tell how it began. ten years from exactly this date A man was sent away to fight in a far off place La had to say goodbye, Had to leave his home and his pretty eyes It broke her heart and she him to stay But not her gentle hands could persuade him another way. He was gone for seemed to be years, And his beautiful lover everyday with tears. 1st was the last time she cried Thinking he'd be coming but all she heard was that he'd died. She was told he was a brave man But it was news his young just, she just couldn't understand. So she her sorrow and her soul, The way she knew how By herself into the well. She thought together, they'd be in the afterlife. you dance with me tonight? Hold my hand under the All we have is today Until my bones just away. But what she know, is that she had heard wrong The young man did return, only to find she had fallen Her untimely death meant that they now both alone Never to dance together or see how old that they had grown The next day he flowers by the well Burned candles in the evening wishing he'd the one that fell He knew seeing her, wouldn't happen just tears So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those November 2nd from point on He sure he patrolled until the break of dawn So they dance together, for just this one day, Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la Won't you dance me tonight? Hold my under the moonlight All we have is just Until my bones just away.
