but I’m a (D)fraid I left my purse.”

I said, “I (E)put one back dia be hind the bar.

out of the pock I et bet of it’s prob ’ly yours.”

And And as the her (Bm)next thing that I knew,

there we she were “This is the last lost thing in I con ex ver pect (A)sa ed.” tion.

Be fore I (Bm)hand ed her her purse,

I said, “You’ll (G)on ly get this back on (D)one con (E)di tion.”

And we danced

(Bm)out there on that (A)emp ty hard wood (E)floor.

The chairs up and the lights turned (A)way down low.

The mu sic played, we held each oth er close

and we danced.

And from that mo ment

there was nev er an y doubt

I That’s had found the one in.

that I had (Bm)al ways dreamed a bout.

And then one (A)eve nin’

when she stopped (D)by I af ter work,

I said, I (E)pulled one a dia mond ring the bar.

out of the pock I et bet of it’s prob my shirt.

And And as the her (Bm)eyes filled up with tears,

there we she said, “This is the last lost thing in I con ex ver pect (A)sa ed.” tion.

And then she (Bm)took me by the hand

and said, “I’ll (G)on ly mar ry you on (D)one con (E)di tion.”

And we danced

(Bm)out there on that (A)emp ty hard wood (E)floor.

The chairs up and the lights turned (A)way down low.

The mu sic played, we held each oth er close

and we danced.

And from that mo

like (Bm)no one else had (A)ev er danced be fore.

I can’t ex plain what hap pened on that floor,

but the mu sic played, we held each oth
