Lyrics
Crepe paper drooping, the night is late Last slow song, I find my fate Shy at the bleachers, you cross the floor Hand out gently, I want no more Last slow song in the gym Lights turned low and dim Sway with me, sway with me Last slow song in the gym Music box tumbling out of the speaker Sweet little rhythm, slow and meeker Your hand on my shoulder, warm and light Feels like the gym is full of starlight Last slow song in the gym Lights turned low and dim Sway with me, sway with me Last slow song in the gym One step left, one step right We are small in the glowing light Years will pass and I will know This is the song I'll hold Song is ending, the lights come on Friends are calling, we're nearly gone I carry the tune all the way home Never again so sweetly shown Last slow song in the gym Lights turned low and dim Sway with me, sway with me Last slow song in the gym
