After the Last Dance

British Female Vocals

Intro

Verse

Still in my gown, the candles burning low

The last perfume still lingers in the hall

I pour myself a final glass

And let the evening slowly come to pass

These hours have a sweetness all their own

When all the lovely people finally go home

Build

And the night still wears its beauty

Like it doesn't know it's over

Not yet ready to let go

Chorus

After the last dance

The room still holds the glow

After the last dance

I take it nice and slow

Not with sadness — just with tenderness

For everything that shone

Every beautiful thing

Borrows time and moves on

Verse

A ribbon left on the floor, a laughing voice

Still echoing somewhere between the walls

I wouldn't rush this if I could

The way the memory rises and then falls

These hours have a sweetness all their own

When all the lovely people finally go home

Build

And the night still wears its beauty

Like it doesn't know it's over

Not yet ready to let go

Chorus

After the last dance

The room still holds the glow

After the last dance

I take it nice and slow

Not with sadness — just with tenderness

For everything that shone

Every beautiful thing

Borrows time and moves on

Bridge

And I am grateful for the light

That never stays but always finds its way back

Build

And the night still wears its beauty

Like it doesn't know it's over

Not yet ready to let go

Chorus

After the last dance

I am right where I belong

Outro
