Last Dance

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Expectant, too punctual But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But older than me now More constant, more real And the fur and the mouth and the innocence Turned to hair and contentment That hangs in a basement A woman now standing where once There was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered The walking through walls In the heart of December The blindness of happiness Of falling down laughing And I really believed That this time was forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as When we used to fall All this in an instant Before I can kiss you A woman now standing Where once there was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Reluctantly, cautiously But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as When we used to fall And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss In the way that we did When the woman was only a girl
