Velvet lights
The band plays low
Every note
A tale of woe
I watch you from across the floor
Like
I did a thousand times before
Shadows on the ballroom whispers in my heart
Every glance you give me tears me apart
I'm dancing with ghosts of what could have been
A love that's lost yet
I still give in
Your laughter floats above the horns
While my heart quietly mourns
A waltz a sigh a lingering stare
I reach for you but you're not there
Brass and strings they swell and cry
As
I pretend our love won't die
But in the shadows
I remain
A lonely heart a quiet pain
Shadows on the ballroom lights so dim
The music plays but it's all for him
I close my eyes and
I dance alone
In a world where love has gone
