G                         C 
The bar was empty, I was sweepin' up the floor 
D                                       C               G 
That's when she walked in, I said "I'm sorry but we're closed" 
                               C 
And she said "I know, but I'm afraid I left my purse" 
        D                              C                    G 
I said "I put one back behind the bar, I bet it's probably yours" 
        Am                C              D             G 
And the next thing that I knew there we were, lost in conversation 
Am                           C              Am 
And before I handed her her purse I said, "you'll only get this back 
        D 
On one condition"? 
 
(Chorus) 
 
G               C                               D 
And we danced, out there on that empty hardwood floor 
                                             C 
The chairs up and the lights turned way down low 
                                     D 
The music played we held each other close 
        G 
And we danced. 
 
G                                C 
And from that moment, there was never any doubt 
D                               C              G 
I had found the one that I had always dreamed about 
G                              C 
And then one evening, when she stopped by after work 
D                                   C            G 
I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt 
            Am                  C 
And as her eyes filled up with tears, she said 
D                          G 
"This is the last thing I expected" 
             Am              C 
And then she took me by the hand and said 
       Am         C           D 
"I'll only marry you on one condition" 
 
(Chorus) 
  
C                                  D 
Like no one else had ever danced before 
                                       C 
I can't explain what happened on that floor 
                                         D 
But the music played we held each other close 
        G     C         G 
And we danced, yeah we danced.
