Last Dance Letra

To see how we're ending

Our last dance together

Expectant

Too puctual

But prettier than ever

I really believe that this time it's forever



But older than me now

More constant

More real

And the fur and the mouth and the innocence

Turned to hair and contentment

That hangs in abasement

A woman now standing where once

There was only a girl



I'm so glad you came

I'm so glad you remembered

The walking through walls in the heart of December

The blindness of happiness

Of falling down laughing

And I really believed that this time was forever



But Christmas falls late now

Flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

All this in an instant

Before I can kiss you

A woman now standing where once

There was only a girl



I'm so glad you came

I'm so glad you remembered

To see how we're ending

Our last dance together

Reluctantly

Cautiously

But prettier than ever

I really believe that this time it's forever



But Christmas falls late now

Flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

And even if we drink

I don't think we would kiss in the way that we did

When the woman

Was only a girl
