The Fool That I am..

In that last dance of chances

I shall partner you no more..

I shall watch another turn you,
As you move across the floor...


In that last dance of chances,
When I bid your life good-bye,

I will hope she treats you kindly..
I will hope you learn to fly...

In that last dance of chances,

When I know you’ll not be mine,

I will let you go with longing..
And the hope that you’ll be fine...


In that last dance of chances,
We shall know each other’s minds..

We shall part with our regrets,

When the tie no longer binds...

*sigh*
