That Song

I really didn`t want to go and face you that night
But something told me that I`d regret it
I could not help but watch hard as I might
So I told myself to move on and just forget it
But every now and then I catch your eye
And that is when I realize that I . . .

I return to that night and that one dance
I start thinking there still might be a chance
I can still feel your arms and your movement
I remember those words that I said and that I meant
But what really makes me weak when I try to be strong
Is any moment, day or night, when I hear That Song

You talked to me as if nothing had changed between us
But I could barely look you in the face
I could not believe I gave you my trust
I slowly looked at you and my heart began to race
I forced myself to look you in the eye
I recognized that song and wondered why . . .

Why did you choose that song for that one dance
Why did you let me think there was a chance
I let myself get caught in the moment
And I began to understand just what that song meant
But just when I thought that everything was going wrong
You came up to me and asked me to dance to That Song
