I had finally beat my nerve to watch her on the stage

Removing all her clothes, revealing only age

Some men stared with a stun, some sat in married guilt

That night I chewed a brick for ideals I had built And there we were in each other's arms

The very first dance that seemed to last forever Our heads they almost touched, our feet beneath us moved

Professional, her dance and me, the horses hoof

The lights that beat the vision I'd conjured in my head

Had magically appeared and disappeared again And there we were in each other's arms

The very first dance that seemed to last forever The music stopped, we parted but only for a bar

Off to the Bahamas and back into her arms

The excitement of a kiss quenched my lover's thirst

We walked into the cold night, a night to remember There we were in each other's arms

The very first dance that seemed to last forever

There we were in each other's arms

The very first dance that seemed to last forever The very first dance

The very first dance, forever

The very first dance

The very first dance, forever The very first dance

The very first dance, forever

The very first dance

The very first, the very first

The very first dance
