Lyrics
Dance on the Tables
I remember when I left you,
I thought I'd soon forget you,
Thought I'd play the field for a while.
But time has shown me,
You were the one for me,
I always loved your pirate's smile.
Time has a way of
Teaching us things
That we are too stubborn
To learn.
So I called you today
To ask if I could stay
And rebuild all those bridges
That I burned.
Chorus
I hope you'll think it's time.
For us to start again,
To see if there's a still a spark.
I Remember the time
When we drank too much wine
And danced on the tables in the
Park.
Sometimes I wish that I
Could just go back in time
And take back those
Awful words I said.
I can't undo the past
But I promise it will last,
If you'll trust me, I'll
Never treat you bad.
Oh, I wish that we could have
Those good times once again
I miss the way you used
To clown around.
Are you willing to try,
To see if we can fly,
And fall in love once again?
Chorus
Oh, I hope that it's the time
For us to start again,
To see if we still have the spark.
I remember the time
When we drank too much wine
And danced on the tables in the park.
We were just too young to know,
That we shouldn't let it go,
That we found our soulmates,
The first time around.
So I'm asking you today,
To finally let me stay,
In the place I've always belonged
Chorus
Oh, I hope that it's the time
For us to start again,
To see if we still have the spark.
I remember the time
When we drank too much wine
And danced on the tables in the park.
And danced on the tables in
The park.
