the last waltz

i could see that you were dancing
but the dance had changed
you were side stepping
when you should have moved ahead
maybe i had killed something
maybe what was left
was just a shadow
of the passion
we had shared
and i had
sacrificed everything
that could have been
and your card
is full of
other names
that you must occupy the dancefloor with
and as i watch you glide along
in the arms of someone else
i know that what we had
can never be again

there used to be a look you had
that made me smile
a something that was special
in a way nothing else was
but now i see the light has gone
from somewhere in side
there's no use looking for it anymore
if it's not there
dance on
when another partner comes along
didn't you know
this was the last waltz
