I don't dance anymore

We danced together

Held tight in each other's arms

I felt safe in your embrace

Where no one could do me harm

We held hands

walking off the dance floor

but now it's over

I don't dance anymore

I gave you private dances

that no one else could see

in a world where there was

no one but you and me

I danced when you made me happy

to forget the times I was sad

When others turned me away

dancing with you made me glad

Now you are no longer with me

I'm heartbroken and alone

You were my lifelong dance partner

Now you are long gone

I hear the music but I

can't bring myself to move

When it comes to dancing

we had our own special grove

we danced together yes

we did you and I

now the sound of music

only makes me cry

You're dancing with the angels

in eternity on streets made of gold

I'm down here on earth

feeling lonely and growing old

I close my eyes and remember

when you held me in your arms

when we danced the night away

and I felt safe and warm

No one can take your place

so I stay off the dance floor

Only you could fill my special place

That's why I don't dance anymore
