| The bar was empty
|
| I was sweeping up the floor
|
| That’s when she walked in I said, «I'm sorry but we’re closed»
|
| And she said «I know, but I’m afraid I left my purse»
|
| I said, «I put one back behind the bar I bet it’s probably yours»
|
| And the next thing that I knew
|
| There we were, lost in conversation
|
| Before I handed her her purse
|
| I said, «You'll only get this back on one condition»
|
| And we danced
|
| Out there on that empty hardwood floor
|
| The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
|
| The music played, we held each other close
|
| And we danced
|
| And from that moment
|
| There was never any doubt
|
| I had found the one
|
| That I had always dreamed about
|
| And then one evenin'
|
| When she stopped by after work
|
| I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt
|
| And as her eyes filled up with tears
|
| She said, «This is the last thing I expected»
|
| And then she took me by the hand
|
| And said, «I'll only marry you on one condition»
|
| And we danced
|
| Out there on that empty hardwood floor
|
| The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
|
| The music played, we held each other close
|
| And we danced
|
| Like no one else had ever danced before
|
| I can’t explain what happened on that floor
|
| But the music played |
