First Dance (for the Corey Smith contest)

by MyEscape   Jan 17, 2008


In a pretty pink dress
That was going to waste
As I sat on the side
With a sad little face

But you walked to my place
And opened up your hands
Smiled as you asked me
Would you like to dance?

And I did...

It was my first dance with love
I took it soft and slow
Nowhere else to be
Nowhere else I'd rather go
It was my first chance to be
Someone else's girl
To be held in his arms
Wrapped up in their world
And I prayed the song would never end

We had good memories
That followed us that night
But the bad ones came too soon
And left us bitter fights

I watched you walk away
Closed minded with closed hands
And heartache came to me
Said Would you like to dance?

And I did...

It was my first dance with pain
I took it soft and slow
Nowhere else to be
Nowhere else that I could go
It was my first chance to lose
My entire world
Knowing that from now on
I was no one's girl
And I prayed the song would come to an end
I don't think I ever want to dance again
