“The Time We Have”
it’s Saturday night
all black and white
when you ask me to dance
like you know that I’ll say yes
and I’ve never danced
with a boy before tonight;
I’ve never danced at a dance
in my whole life
you break the chains I have
and then you take my right hand
and suddenly we’re dancing
in some faraway land
so you keep your grip
our hands clasped like this
as you lead me through
the motions
chorus:
I just want this dance
to last; don’t want this
night to pass; feel like I’m losing
fast; the time we have
in another day
I leave, and then you won’t
see me; it’ll be a dream
the time we have
it’s a little bit funny
it’s a little bit odd
we‘re dancing to my dads
favorite song
I trip again
and you laugh with me
I can feel your heart
where our palms meet
chorus
running out of time
I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
to sear this in my mind
running out of time
you’re running out of time
you’re running out of time
to sear this in your mind
running out of time
we’re running out of time
we’re running out of time
to sear this in our minds
time’s leaving us behind
it’s leaving us behind
it’s leaving us behind
but I can’t leave you behind
chorus
