I remember Abilene
and their roadside swimming hole.
I hardly knew you at all back then,
but I knew that you moved my soul.
Everything’s changing around us,
But your eyes are still blue.
Couples are piling up like car wrecks
while I’m still dancing with you.
Chorus:
“Is this the last dance?”
I’m crying.
I always said I was my own woman.
Baby, I guess I was lying.
Is this the last dance,
alone together?
Let’s make this dance last forever.
I remember all the promises
and the sad eyes of the strangers.
I remember the cold wars,
and the devils and the angels.
I remember the first time we made love.
You were so much more than a lover
The angels laughed, and said,
“it’s about time those two pilgrims found each other.”
Chorus
How many times did we finally decide
we’d reached the end,
only to find our love in each other’s eyes again?
Chorus
