One Last Dance Lyrics
As we lay here tonight
Please forgive me girl if I say the future's not bright
But please take my hand we'll have one last dance
In the place where we first met eyes
Holy City Zoo
I recall the name of the place where I first saw you
With your eyes so kind and your smile so bright
I just wanted to take you home
Where you go I wanna go
What you do I wanna do
I'll be your Troy Donnahue
If you'll be my Sandra Dee
It’s a trivial pursuit
But I know if I fall on my heart
I’ll be with you
But please understand I am just a man
And I need you to take me home
We're together now
Wanna change my shoes
So I feel like you somehow
Need to breathe your breathe
And caress your dress
I'll be with you for quite some time
I'll take you where you wanna go
Tell me where I wanna know
I will just go with the flow
As long as I'm there with you
Are the kids ok
Didn't find the time to give you a call today
But my heart's with yours
I'm keepin' score of the things that I have done wrong
Another funeral
All the people I know
Are beginning to fade away
And I have to say that at least today
It's beginning to get me down
To this day I'm lovin' you
We know what we wanna do
I am your Troy Donnahue
And you are my Sandra Dee
Now I know you well
I still love you adore you
I need you more than then
With your eyes still kind
And your smile still bright
I still want to take you home
And I will do all that I can
You're my woman I'm your man
(I’m your woman, you’re my man)
And if we still don't have a plan
We'll listen to Thunder Road
Please forgive me girl if I say the future's not bright
But please take my hand we'll have one last dance
In the place where we first met eyes
I recall the name of the place where I first saw you
With your eyes so kind and your smile so bright
I just wanted to take you home
What you do I wanna do
I'll be your Troy Donnahue
If you'll be my Sandra Dee
But I know if I fall on my heart
I’ll be with you
But please understand I am just a man
And I need you to take me home
Wanna change my shoes
So I feel like you somehow
Need to breathe your breathe
And caress your dress
I'll be with you for quite some time
Tell me where I wanna know
I will just go with the flow
As long as I'm there with you
Didn't find the time to give you a call today
But my heart's with yours
I'm keepin' score of the things that I have done wrong
All the people I know
Are beginning to fade away
And I have to say that at least today
It's beginning to get me down
We know what we wanna do
I am your Troy Donnahue
And you are my Sandra Dee
I still love you adore you
I need you more than then
With your eyes still kind
And your smile still bright
I still want to take you home
You're my woman I'm your man
(I’m your woman, you’re my man)
And if we still don't have a plan
We'll listen to Thunder Road

wow
I love this song so much.
I think it's from the point of view of an old man (maybe BDB thinking about himself when he's older), thinking about the future of him and his wife/partner. It's them coming back to the they first met - 'the place where I first saw you' - maybe literally or metaphorically, and thinking back on their lives together. I think that the 'future's not bright' because they're getting older, and that he's worried he might not be around forever - 'Another funeral, All the people I know, Are beginning to fade away, And I have to say that at least today, It's beginning to get me down'. It seems like they've been together for a long time and are in love, but the future of their lives, not their love, is uncertain. Just my ideas but hey. Might not be right.
It's BDB's partner who does the backing vocals at the end, which is very sweet.
Masterpiece of a song :D
