The room is fading into gold
Your hand is warm, the night is cold
The music moves, so soft, so slow
As if it knows we have to go
You look at me, I look away
Afraid to lose what words might say
The Moon is resting on the glass
And neither asks how long will last
So let the melody remain
A little shelter from the rain
No need to tell me what we know
Some things are better left below
Dance with me one last time
Let the silence keep the rhyme
Hold me close, then let me go
There are things we'll never know
Dance with me beneath the light
Before we lose this tender night
If tomorrow takes you far
I'll remember where we are
The morning waits beyond the door
The life we knew will be no more
But in the quiet of this room
Your touch still leaves a trace of bloom
Perhaps someday, when skies are clear
A distant song will bring you near
And for a moment, just like then
I'll hear your footsteps once again
We were a story, brief and true
A little world I shared with you
No blame to carry, none to say
Just one more night before the day
Dance with me one last time
Let the silence keep the rhyme
Hold me close, then let me go
There are things we'll never know
Dance with me beneath the light
Before we lose this tender night
If tomorrow takes you far
I'll remember where we are
The room is fading into gold
Your hand is warm, the night is cold
The music ends, the lights grow dim
And I let go of you, of him
