The night is so dark,
It's perfect for romance.
I don't see you there,
It's like I'm in a trance.

We've had many rough times,
Sometimes our love is pain.
It's amazing what we go through,
Just to meet in the rain.

I see all the couples,
They're allowed to just be.
Even though I don't see you,
Will you save this last dance for me?

The hour grows later,
I look for you again,
Then I see you standing there,
Just as the clock strikes ten.

You smile at me,
As we try to understand,
We both say nothing to each other,
And then you take my hand.

The song ends so soon,
Time really passed us by,
Then I saw the tears on your face,
And I try hard not to cry.

I hold you so close to me,
And I say a prayer,
Since I'll love him always, God,
Make this dance last forever.

I see all the couples,
They're allowed to just be,
Even though I don't see you,
Will you save this last dance for me?
