Lyrics

VERSE 1

I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered

To see how we're ending our last dance together

Expectantly, too punctual, but prettier than ever

I really believe that this time it's forever

But older than me now, more constant, more real

And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned

To hair and contentment that hangs in abasement

A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

VERSE 2

Oh, I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered

Walking through walls in the heart of December

The blindness, the happiness, falling down laughing

But I really believed that this time was forever

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

All this in an instant before I can kiss you

A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

[Bridge]

(Your name like ice into my heart)

VERSE 3

I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered

To see how we're ending our last dance together

Reluctantly, cautiously, but prettier than ever

I really believe that this time it's forever

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

And even if we drink, I don't think we will kiss

In the way that we did when the woman was only a girl

Last Dance
