Lyrics
Please let?s keep dancing
Just for a little while more
On your kitchen floor
It?s a fine ballroom
I?ve never felt this way before
You see I?ve waited several lifetimes
To ask you for this dance
And more than once I?ve wondered
If I?d ever have the chance
And now at last I?ve found you
But I?ve found you standing with another man
And when I die I?m gonna ask the Lord
Why we should ever have to choose
Between the holiness of passion
And the holiness of rules
It?s just not fair to ask of someone
A choice that must divide the soul
How does truth compete with virtue
When it comes our time to go
Please let?s stop dancing
Before I cannot let you go
(How will I let you go)
The neighbors will be glancing
You can?t afford to cause a show
I see but two roads here before us
And both are filled with pain
I won?t make you go with me
But you must hear me say
You?ll never be this certain
Of anything you?ll ever feel again
