One Last Dance Lyrics

[Intro]
I shot this glance at you
In a minute I’ll be gone
But not because I didn’t want to

[Verse]
No one wants to dance
So I’m standing on my feet
Nobody takes the chance
To break the law to start the beat

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m sitting this one out
I’m planning on my own
I’m staying put for now
But not forever

[Chorus]
I’ll save this dance for you
In the morning I’ll be gone
But not because I didn’t want to

I tried so hard to stay
Stay in love with you and me
I’m moving on because I have to
[Outro]
You say it’s too late, I was wrong, you can’t wait
I’ll try now, if you stay, stay with me
I’ll still fight for what’s right, I still dream every night
I still want to believe
You’re saving one last dance for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
