Lyrics
Band plays the last song of the night Floor is full and the room is bright Nobody leaving, nobody shy Hands in the air, wave goodbye Last song, last dance, one more time Last song, last dance, feeling fine Last song, last dance, don't go home Dance till the lights come up Trumpet shouting, drummer grin Shoes are tired but we dance again Strangers dancing like old friends Nobody wants the night to end Last song, last dance, one more time Last song, last dance, feeling fine Last song, last dance, don't go home Dance till the lights come up Lights come up, we blink and smile One more step for one more mile Take my hand, don't let go Last song, last song, here we go Sweeping up and stacking chairs Singing softly on the stairs Cold air waiting at the door But we still hear the horns, hear the floor Last song, last dance, one more time Last song, last dance, feeling fine Last song, last dance, don't go home Dance till the lights come up Last song, last dance Hey!
