Time Capsule of Lyrics

That Night We Danced

*Author's Note: This one's about senior Prom night!! It was so much fun and I made so many amazing memories! Our theme was Starry Night by Van Gogh.

〜VERSE 1〜

I was looking for you all night

when I finally saw you there sitting alone

So I sat down next to you

And tried not to let my nervousness show

I was in a long red dress

I knew it was your favorite color

And when I saw you look me over

I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter

We talked for a little casually

You said you were feeling a bit out of it

I told you it's a special night

So let's not sit here and waste it

We headed towards the dance room

The air was hot and the music was loud

We found our friends and dispersed into the crowd

but when the music slowed it all settled down

〜CHORUS〜

I'll never forget that night we danced

The way you interlaced my fingers with your hand

We swayed gently in the dark

And in that moment you had my heart

The people around us turned to a blur

in between we exchanged a few words

I laid my head against your chest

And I felt the ecstasy rush to my head

〜POST-CHORUS〜

Yeah that night we danced

I felt enchanted

And every second of every day

I wish that night had never ended

〜VERSE 2〜

After that last song you walked me out

The heat of our feelings still followed us 'round

I grabbed my purse and you got your coat

We took one last picture before I had to go

But then you called the very next night

It was late three quarters past ten

You told me you had fun last night

But that we were only just friends

As I hung up the phone I felt my heart shatter

You were never mine but it didn't matter

Cause it hurt so bad that I couldn't stop the tears

And I'd do anything at all

if I could still have you right here

Now a week has passed since that night

You're avoiding me at school

and won't look me in the eye

Crashed down from heaven with broken wings

How did one night change everything

〜CHORUS〜

But I still can't forget the way we danced

Our bodies close, our minds intertwined

I put my arms around your neck

You held my waist and pulled me tight

The world around us turned to a blur

Dancing to The Best Part by H.E.R

It felt so safe inside your arms

For those three minutes the night was ours

〜BRIDGE〜

Memories of that night

still won't leave my mind

cause for those few minutes

you were finally mine

And I know you felt it too

from the way you pulled me closer to you

In those few moments we had

It felt like a dream come true

〜CHORUS〜

I'll always remember that first slow dance

The starry night had us entranced

Being close to you just felt so right

Our suppressed desires could finally ignite

But as the song came to an end

Reality broke us apart again

As I disappeared into the night

You called my name and waved goodbye

〜POST-CHORUS/OUTRO〜

Yeah that night we danced

I felt enchanted

And every second of every day

I wish that night had never ended
