One last dance     (video)

G - D - Em - C

G

1. I still remember that summer night,

Am - D

your red dress underneath the lights,

D

we were young, life was wild

G

just two hearts standing side by side.

G

2. Through every storm and every year

C - Am

you were the reason I stayed here.

D

The world kept changing all around

G

but your hand was always what I found.

Em Bm

The photographs have faded now,

C D

but somehow love still shows us how.

G D

So give me one last dance tonight

G

hold me close beneath the light,

C

56 years and you’re still the one,

D G

my first hello, my setting sun.

Em Bm

+ And if tomorrow never comes, I know we’ve had our time

C Am

so give me one last dance tonight

D G

and let your heart beat next to mine.

(orig. moves up half a note to capo 4th here)

D

3. We built a life from hopes and dreams,

G

children’s laughter, wedding rings.

A

Every wrinkle tells a story, too,

D - Bm

of all the days I spent loving you.

F#m

The music plays just like before

G A D - Bm

and I still see that girl I adored.

F#m

Not a day has changed my view

G A

after all these years I’m still in love with you

D A

So give me one last dance tonight,

D

hold me close beneath the light,

G

56 years and you’re still the one

A D - A

my first hello, my setting sun.

D F#m

+ And when this song is finally gone and the crowd fades from sight

G Bm

you’ll still be mine forever, love,

Em A Bm - A

long after this last dance tonight.

G Em - A D - G - A - D

One last dance just you and I.
