The Very First Dance

I had finally beat my nerve to watch her on the stage
Removing all her clothes, revealing only age
Some men stared with a stun, some sat in married guilt
That night I chewed a brick for ideals I had built

And there we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last forever

Our heads they almost touched, our feet beneath us moved
Professional, her dance and me, the horses hoof
The lights that beat the vision I'd conjured in my head
Had magically appeared and disappeared again

And there we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last forever

The music stopped, we parted but only for a bar
Off to the Bahamas and back into her arms
The excitement of a kiss quenched my lover's thirst
We walked into the cold night, a night to remember

There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last forever
There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last forever

The very first dance
The very first dance, forever
The very first dance
The very first dance, forever

The very first dance
The very first dance, forever
The very first dance
The very first, the very first
The very first dance
