Broken Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember it so clearly, We were sittin’ in your truck. You said that we’d be married soon… “By next Spring, with any luck.” I thought that you were teasing me, So I didn’t say a thing. You grabbed my hand and winked at me, Then you showed that diamond ring. [Verse 2] We were scared to death and nervous. When we finally said, “I do.” But you gently whispered in my ear, “I won’t stop lovin’ you.” As we danced at our reception, Our first time in our new life, I remember I was thinking, “I’m so proud to be his wife.” [Pre-Chorus] But nothing lasts forever And life can change so fast. The dance you share this evening Could always be your last… [Chorus] Now I’m Dancin’ to the rhythm of a broken heart. Watchin’ as my world is torn apart How could it happen to us when, We thought our days would never end? No one ever told me I could hurt this much. Remeberin’ what it’s like to feel your touch. Would I do it all again? If you told me way back then… That I’d be dancin’… Dancin’ with a broken heart. [Verse 3] On our ten year anniversary, You still had that young romance. You took me out to supper And surprised me with a dance. I can still feel you against me, As you pulled me in so tight. You kissed me and you said to me, “Why don’t we just dance all night?” [short instrumental] [Verse 4] It was just a few weeks later, On a Friday afternoon. My phone rang and a women said That I had to get there soon. “Your husband’s had an accident And they’re tryin’ to save his life. They’re not sure how much time he has, But he’s asking for his wife.” [Bridge] In a moment life can change you It can take your breath away. And remind you to be grateful For every single day… [short instrumental] [Verse 5 quiet] I stood there looking down on you As you opened up your eyes. You could barely get a word out As you pulled me to your side. “Did you know that I still love you?” You whispered as you took my hand. In your final breath you asked me, “Can I just have one last dance?” [Chorus] Now I’m Dancin’ to the rhythm of a broken heart. Wishin’ we could go back to the start. Why did I take for granted then, The things I thought would never end? No one ever told me I could hurt this much. Remeberin’ what it’s like to feel your touch. Would I do it all again If you told me way back then… That I’d be Dancin’ with a broken heart. Wishin’ we could go back to the start. Why did I take for granted then, The things I thought would never end? And now I’m dancing’… Dancin’ with a broken heart. [instrumental]
