Slow dance
At the end of the show,
Stand by me closely
In case there is an encore.
Oh Dear,
The lights are dipping lowly,
And I feel
Like I am slipping under.
Though we
Are two halves of a whole thing,
I fear our love could never prosper.
Romance,
Such a lasting devotion to behold here
With demons I can't conquer.
I need to find a way to ease my mind.
It might be the only way to pass the time.
Oh Dear,
There's nothing more that I can do,
Except stand here and then slow dance with you.
Hold hands
At the end of the show
Stand by me closely
Although the evenings over.
Slowly,
As the two curtains close,
Promise me one thing:
That you'll love me forever.
Slow dance
At the end of the show,
Stand by me closely,
In case there is an encore.
Oh Dear,
As the two curtains close,
Promise me one thing:
That you'll love me forever.
