One More Chance

              (C.L. Harrington ©2000 GOC Music-BMI)

I was lonesome tonight as I walked in the room

I wasn’t expectin’ to see you so soon

It’s been just a week since we said our goodbyes

I thought I’d leave quickly, but you caught my eye,

So I try to look cool as I sit here alone

And I can’t help thinking if I’d only known...

I’d have worn my red dress and your favorite perfume

And I’d boldly waltz ’cross the room, and I’d say

[Chorus:]

Baby, come dance with me

Just once more, round that hardwood floor

I’d show you we’re not through

If I could have just one more chance to dance with you

Oh, why does the DJ keep playin’ the songs

That bring out old feelings; that make me long

For your lovin’ arms to be holding me tight

Why can’t I be with you tonight?

He’s playin’ “Sweet Dreams” and your dancin’ with her

Like some crummy movie that I don’t deserve

To be in at all when I’m lonesome for you

I try not to care, but I do, Oh

[Chorus]

The scenario ends as you walk out the door

I’m left with longing and wishing for more

Of what we once had and the love that we shared

What would have happened if I had dared to say...

Baby, come dance with me

Just once more, ‘round that hardwood floor

I’d show you we’re not through

If I could have just one more chance to dance with you

If I could have just one more chance to dance with you
