One More Time, With Rhythm

I crossed the empty hallway/I lit my cigarette Beyond the door, some drunkards swore/the barman seemed upset The lights were low, the room/it smelled just like regret As whispers lingered from the balcony I found an empty table/I sat and sipped my wine I looked across, the ballroom floor/and soon your eyes met mine Standing there, your auburn hair/a smile that gently shined A voice cried out/the music played in time One more time, with rhythm/One more time for me I don't care about rings or the order of things/your love is all I need Wish we stayed there forever/miss your hand to hold Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known The band they played, that fateful day/and all throughout the night The careful steps, your bated breath/well, everything felt right But as our hands departed/you disappeared from sight I felt like I'd been woken from a dream The venue closed, I grabbed my coat/and stepped out in the rain We danced for only moments/but my life just ain't the same Cause even though, I let you go/my love for you remains The music plays/I'm in your arms again One more time, with rhythm/One more time for me I don't care about rings or the order of things/your love is all I need Wish we stayed there forever/miss your hand to hold Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known
