Danced
Pop country, sad and reflective, female singer, catchy melodyLyrics
[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.
