Lyrics

I was rem in isc in’ just the oth er day while hav ing cof fee all a lone and Lord, it took me a way, back to a (C)first glance feel ing on New York time, back when you fit my po ems like a per fect rhyme.

(G)Took off fast er than a green light go.

Yeah, you skip the con ver sa tion when you al read y know I left a (Em7)note on the door with a joke we’d made and (C)that was the first day.

And (D)dar ling, (Em)it was (C)good,

(D)nev er (Em)look ing (C)down.

And (D)right there (Em)where we (C)stood

was ho ly ground.

(G)Spin ning like a girl in a brand new dress, we had this big wide cit y all to our selves.

We block the (C)noise with the sound of “I need you.” And for the first time I had some thin’ to lose.

And I (G)guess we fell a part in the us u al way and the sto ry’s got dust on ev er y page.

But some (Em7)times I won der how you think a bout it now.

And I (C)see your face in ev ’ry crowd.

’Cause (D)dar ling, (Em7)it was (C)good,

(D)nev er (Em7)look ing (C)down.

And (D)right there (Em7)where we (C)stood

was ho ly ground.

To night I’m gon na dance

for all that we’ve been through.

But I don’t want to dance

if I’m not danc ing with you.

To night I’m gon na dance

like you were in this room.

But I don’t want to dance

if I’m not danc ing with (D)you.

(Em7)It was (C)good,

(D)nev er (Em7)look ing (C)down.

And (D)right there (Em7)where we (C)stood

was ho ly ground.

To night I’m gon na dance

for all that we’ve been through.

But I don’t want to dance

if I’m not danc ing with you.

To night I’m gon na dance

like you were in this room.

But I don’t want to dance

if I’m not danc ing with (D)you.

(Em7)It was danc ing with you.
