Junior high 
Christmas dance 
Gym was covered with wall flowers 
Boys on one wall 
Girls on another 
They’d been standing there for hours 

He was hoping for the courage 
To be the first one on that dance floor 
She was waiting for him to ask her 
Couldn’t wait a minute more 
So she walked up and grabbed his arm 
In time for the next slow song 

They danced alone 
Each step was slightly off the rhythm 
They danced alone 
He sang to her a little out of tune 
They danced alone 
They carried on as if they couldn’t notice 
All eyes were on the center of the room 
Because the world was small 
And the two were one 
Everytime they danced alone 

Sealed their promise with a kiss 
Ten years later on their wedding day 
She had only one request 
When she asked the band to play 
She walked up and grabbed his arm 
In time for that same slow song 

They danced alone 
Each step was slightly off the rhythm 
They danced alone 
He sang to her a little out of tune 
They danced alone 
They carried on as if they couldn’t even notice 
All eyes were on the center of the room 
Because the world was small 
And the two were one 
Everytime they danced alone 

They danced each night 
The years rolled by 

I remember a quiet room 
Sat with grandpa as he tried to be strong 
The nurse walked in and he just smiled 
Was like he knew all along 

And I never saw him cry 
He just stood there and closed his eyes 

He danced alone 
Each step was slightly off the rhythm 
He danced alone 
He sang to her a little out of tune 
He danced alone 
He carried on as if he couldn’t notice 
All eyes were on the center of the room 
Because the world was small 
And the two were one 
Everytime they danced alone 

Yes the world was small 
And the two were one 
Everytime they danced alone
