AFTER THE MUSIC STOPS
Our eyes met across the crowded floor
And then they parted once again
I was shy beyond my 16 years
So were you up to the end
As we watched our friends get up and dance
We still sat there in our chairs
Catching glimpses of the other one
Still constricted by our fears
Tell me, won’t you tell me
What happens when the music stops
If I put out my heart and feelings
Could I survive if they were dropped
So do I dare take a giant step
For such a little man
Would I be here if I hadn’t hoped
To finally get my chance
Tell me
What happens
After
The
Music
Stops
Was it a courage that I never knew
Existed inside of me
Because the next thing that I knew
I’m in front of you, you see
And when you up looked into my eyes
Your hand extended out, just so
I must admit I was surprised
When I took it in my own
Tell me, won’t you tell me
What happens when the music stops
If I put out my heart and feelings
Could I survive if they were dropped
So do I dare take a giant step
For such a little man
Would I be here if I hadn’t hoped
To finally get my chance
Tell me
What happens
After
The
Music
Stops
I don’t know if our friend did see us
As we walked out on the floor
My nerves were fighting, let go and run
And somehow find the door
But the gentle touch of your soft hand
Cemented me in place
Then the song that played was a slow dance
Finally time to find my grace
I don’t recall any moves I made
With her out there on that floor
I only knew the comfort that I felt
Her close to me and so much more
Tell me, won’t you tell me
What happens when the music stops
If I put out my heart and feelings
Could I survive if they were dropped
So do I dare take a giant step
For such a little man
Would I be here if I hadn’t hoped
To finally get my chance
Tell me
What happens
After
The
Music
Stops
