who'd ever thought that we could end up this way
just the two of us, to the music we sway
and now i hold you, i don't want to let you go 
but how do i let you know?

i look into your eyes and i'm feeling so unsure
because i never looked at you this way before
and now i hold you, i don't want to let you go
but how do i let you know

so tonight i hold you closer
as we move around the dance floor 
i'm praying that this dance won't be over
that's all i'm asking for

but now the dance is over 
and slowly as we move away
i'm hoping that i'll see you 
again someday

maybe then i'll be better 
maybe then i'll be more sure
but the next time i hold you close 
i won't let you go 

so tonight i hold you closer
as we move around the dance floor 
i'm praying that this dance won't be over
that's all i'm asking for

that's all i'm asking for
