They Danced Alone Lyrics - Matthew West

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
