Slow Dancing
It was cold, it was December
And my heart was on the mend
He called me up
He said, "I'll take you out
I'll have you home by ten."

He was a soldier in his infantry
Always had a thing for me
And, as he held the door for me
Asked if he could teach me a few steps
"Well, I guess..."

[Chorus]
There is nothing to slow dancing
Lay your eyes on mine
I'll guard you with my hands
And there's a harmony
When you're this close to me
If I could just believe
That we could always be
This high above
May I have this dance?
May I be your new love?
There was a letter in the mail today
Scented it with drops of your perfume
You wrote, "We sail today
I wish I was sailing home to you."

Cuz everyday that passes by
I dream of holding you at night
And when I say that I would die
If I could see the light shining on you
You know I'd do it

[Chorus: Sub last two lines]
Do I still have this dance?
Cuz you're still the one I love

Today a man came to the house
He held a flag all folded at the door
The words fell from his mouth
"A hero and a casualty of war,"
And I hit the floor

[Chorus]

Cuz everyday that passes by
I dream of holding you at night
And when I say that I would die
If I could see the light shining on you
You know I'd do it
