Lyrics
Verse 1:
The band plays a slow one at 2 in the mornin’
For no one but the neon sign
They wash up the glasses and they’re sweeping the dance floor
And they put up the whiskey and wine
Verse 2:
There’s one lonely cowboy asleep on his barstool who was
hoping his stars would align
Then the friendly old barmaid she taps on his shoulder and says
let’s dance just one more time
Chorus:
and sway 2 3, sway 2 3 - let’s just you and me
have a one song dance floor romance ⇩
Sway 2 3 sway 2 3 - we can pretend to be, lovers for just one dance ⇧
Verse 3:
The cowboy he thanks her and she brings his last beer
As the band packs it up to go home
She looks in the mirror and wipes away one tear - she knows she’s also alone
Chorus:
They sway 2 3 sway 2 3 - let’s just you and me
have a one song dance floor romance
Sway 2 3 sway 2 3 - we can pretend to be, lovers for just one dance
Verse 4:
The barroom is silent, at 4 in the morning
Except for the buzz of a neon sign
No one’s around, just two lonely figures .. slowly swaying in time
