The Other Side

Remember our first dance?, dressed in our Sunday best
Boys holding up the east wall, girls lined up on the west
Somehow I found the courage to cross that great divide
And make my way to you on the other side

The warmth of your smile melted all my fears
And ever since that night we’ve been dancing through the years
You taught my heart a thousand steps I never would have tried
And led me far from loneliness to the other side

I hope you know just how much you mean to me
Now and forever, for all eternity

Well I’ll come back tomorrow, it’s starting to rain
I’ll leave these flowers on the stone right here by your name
And when my time has come to cross that great divide
Save the first dance for me on the other side

Save the first dance for me on the other side
