The bar was empty

I was sweeping up the floor

That's when she walked in

I said, I'm sorry but we're closed

And she said "I know

But I'm afraid I left my purse"

I said, "I put one back behind the bar

I bet it's probably yours"

And the next thing that I knew

There we were, lost in conversation

Before I handed her her purse

I said, "You'll only get this back on one condition"

 

And we danced

Out there on that empty hardwood floor

The chairs up and the lights turned way down low

The music played, we held each other close

And we danced

 

And from that moment

There was never any doubt

I had found the one

That I had always dreamed about

And then one evenin'

When she stopped by after work

I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt

And as her eyes filled up with tears

She said, "This is the last thing I expected"

And then she took me by the hand

And said, "I'll only marry you on one condition"

 

And we danced

Out there on that empty hardwood floor

The chairs up and the lights turned way down low

The music played, we held each other close

And we danced

 

Like no one else had ever danced before

I can't explain what happened on that floor

But the music played

We held each other close

And we danced

Yeah, we danced.
