The Very First Dance - Squeeze

I had finally beat my nerve

To watch her on the stage

Removing all her clothes

Revealing only age

Some men stared with a stun

Some sat in married guilt

That night I chewed a brick

For ideals I had built

There we were in each other’s arms

The very first dance that seemed to last

Forever

Our heads they almost touched

Our feet beneath us moved

Professional, her dance

And me the horses hoof

The lights the beat the vision

I’d conjured in my head

Had magically appeared

And disappeared again

There we were in each other’s arms

The very first dance that seemed to last

Forever

The music stopped, we parted

But only for a bar

Off to the Bahamas

Back into her arms

Excitement of a kiss

Quenched my lover’s thirst

We walked into the cold night

A night to remember

There we were in each other’s arms

The very first dance that seemed to last

Forever

There we were in each other’s arms

The very first dance that seemed to last

Forever

The very first dance

The very first dance

(Forever)

The very first dance

The very first dance

(Forever)

The very first dance

The very first dance

(Forever)

The very first dance

The very first

The very first

The very first dance
