about

I wrote this in 1994 and we fooled around with it for years, until Sherry brought me this changed melody and the whole song came together.

lyrics

After The Dance

After the dance is over
After your waltz in the sun
You stay out on the floor
And you ask for one more
After the dance is done

After the song has ended
The melody still lingers on
You can hear it so clear
Ringing right in your ear
After the dance is done

The ballplayer hangs on to play one last season
The old man still stumbles out on to the stage
And Pete still calls Nikki without any reason
In his eyes the girl hasn't aged

After the dance is over
After your moment is gone
You stay out on the floor
And you ask for one more
After the dance is done
