I would ask you now to dance
Though I know I've missed my chance
I was a fool and saw too late
That there was nothing for to wait
I claim it now, 'tis my mistake
But surely now, this must be fate
The song that plays was once our gait
The moonlight in your eyes entrance
And beg me ask you now, to dance

Regret shall ne'er know my heart
As it did the day of your depart
It screamed, it begged, it crooned, and cried
As It watched you waltz into the sky
In your presence I sat idly by
And in your absence, wondered why
No longer would you glean my eyes
From head to heart, and words empart
My world was torn, as you and I were torn apart

There is no solace left for me
I'll take this dance, then let you be
And when the morn doth come again,
You and I, no more than friends
Yet my heart be always on the mend
Ever struggling to pretend
My love for you hath reached an end
On the 'morrow you will cross the sea
and I'll wait again for you to dance with me
