Last Chance Waltz Lyrics - David Wilcox

I'm standing before my old high school 

It's been 10 years since I touched the door 

But to heal the old pain we must face it again 

So I'll walk down that hallway once more 

I have come to this 10 year reunion 

For my heart is still pris'ner of war 

An' if I find it's alright, we're escaping tonight 

That's what I came back here for 

Won't you please waltz with me? 

I feel like I'm just like I used to be 

My heart is locked up here so quietly 

Believing that you hold the key 

Won't you please waltz me free? 

The turns of our steps are untangling me 

Free from some dragged around memory 

And the rusty old remnants of fear 

And after 10 years 

I'm melting the shackles with tears 

I'm as nervous as if it's still high school 

You're happily married I know 

But it's not just this dance that I'm asking you for 

I'm asking you ten years ago 

Remember I wrote in your yearbook? 

"Could you please waste some time on me?" 

There's just a few things I must tell you 

But that's as brave as I could be 

So won't you please waltz with me? 

I feel like I'm just like I used to be 

My heart is locked up here so quietly 

Believing that you hold the key 

Won't you please waltz me free? 

The turns of our steps are untangling me 

Free from some dragged around memory 

And the rusty old remnants of fear 

And after 10 years 

I'm melting the shackles with tears
