When I look into his eyes I wonder
how did I let these years go by?
I never noticed what I'm just seeing now,
now that it's too late to try
What I've been trying to find
in someone else for so long
was right here in front of me.
How could I have been so wrong?
But even though I missed my chance
There's always that one last dance
When midnight was upon us
and they played our song
we shared a sweet embrace.
We should have had this all along.
The end of everything approached.
We left each other behind.
We fell in love too late to see
that we were one of a kind
But even though we missed our chance
We'll always have that one last dance.
