I crossed the empty hallway/I lit my cigarette
Beyond the door, some drunkards swore/the barman seemed upset
The lights were low, the room/it smelled just like regret
As whispers lingered from the balcony
I found an empty table/I sat and sipped my wine
I looked across, the ballroom floor/and soon your eyes met mine
Standing there, your auburn hair/a smile that gently shined
A voice cried out/the music played in time
One more time, with rhythm/One more time for me
I don't care about rings or the order of things/your love is all I need
Wish we stayed there forever/miss your hand to hold
Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known
The band they played, that fateful day/and all throughout the night
The careful steps, your bated breath/well, everything felt right
But as our hands departed/you disappeared from sight
I felt like I'd been woken from a dream
The venue closed, I grabbed my coat/and stepped out in the rain
We danced for only moments/but my life just ain't the same
Cause even though, I let you go/my love for you remains
The music plays/I'm in your arms again
One more time, with rhythm/One more time for me
I don't care about rings or the order of things/your love is all I need
Wish we stayed there forever/miss your hand to hold
Cause nothing compares to that short lived affair/cause it's the only loving that I've known (x3)

Slide in close
I got something to say to you baby
I got a little taste of your love
And now it’s driving me crazy
The timing feels just right
What do you say, Why don’t you come on home with me tonight
Sweep my off my feet
Now I feel like I’m flying
You’re pushing all my buttons
Baby there’s no denying
There’s mystery in the way you move
I never wanna solve it
It reads just like the perfect crime
Everybody says we should go much slower
But love ain’t got textbooks or rules to guide
Don’t get too near, I’m close to boiling over
Cause I got these feelings that I just can’t hide
It should come as no surprise
A love like this is so hard to find
I asked for just one moment/you gave me so much more
My heart is racing/my legs are shaking/my hands are running cold
You shook me when you said it
And now I can’t forget it
Your love is always on my mind
I’m running on empty
Ruby won’t you please be mine
Standing on the edge
Im dipping my toes in the water
Dive head first
Your grabbing me and pulling me under
I’m in over my head
But I know that when I’m with you
That everything will be alright
Step right up
It’s easy when you’re holding me tightly
Spot you halfway cross the room
The way you’re shining so brightly
I look up at the sky
Your presence feels like heaven, a North Star
A guiding light
Everybody says we should go much slower
But love ain’t got textbooks or rules to guide
Don’t get too near, I’m close to boiling over
Cause I got these feelings that I just can’t hide
It should come as no surprise
You shine like a gemstone in my eyes
I asked for just one moment/you gave me so much more
My heart is racing/my legs are shaking/my hands are running cold
I'm so lucky that I know ya
Cause honey I adore ya
I never wanna say goodbye
Im running on empty
Ruby won’t you please be mine

So Long

I woke up that morning
A spring afternoon
Winter had faded
The flowers had bloomed
My head on a pillow
I look round the room
Time was all gone
All gone, all gone
I heard a faint whistle
A familiar tune
I wasn’t expecting
To see you so soon
I reached both my hands out
And called out to you
It’s been so long,
So long, so long
So long (x3)
Without you my friend
All gone (x3)
The time that we spent
The leaves slowly bristled
A wonderful sound
You came there to guide me
And see what I found
We came to a crossroads
As I turned around
You were all gone,
All gone, all gone
My journey continued
Just without you
You gave me perspective
You changed my whole view
I stepped out my old life
And into a new
It’s been so long,
So long, so long
So long (x3)
Without you my friend
All gone (x3)
The time that we spent
So long (x3)
Without you my friend
All gone (x3)
The time that we spent

Don't Forget 'Bout Me
02:21

When we first me things started out slow
You gave me a home and
You helped me to grow
I had everything I had ever wanted
I was complete
I still have love for you baby
Don’t forget bout me
Started to notice you were being unkind
You could still see
But your heart had gone blind
I’ll stick with you even as you fade away
You’re all I need
I still have love for you baby
Don’t forget bout me
Felt that there was pain
That you just couldn’t share
Had yourself convinced that
No one would care
Never think you have to go about it all alone
I’m beggin please
I still have love for you baby
Don’t forget bout me
Things just ain’t the same as they were before
Missing something conversations couldn’t restore
Don’t think anything could bring us back together and
Now I see
I still have love for you baby
Don’t forget bout me
