I like the way that your hair falls away when the night brings a candle to you
A D
And I like to stare as you come down the stair and the light from the landing shines through
D D/C# D/B D/A D D#dim Em7
How many fal-len leaves will it take to believe that autumn has finally come
A D D7
The weather's grown colder and we've both grown older it's hard to believe we're still one
CHORUS:
G DM7 Em7 F#m F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G F#m
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em A D D/C# D/B D/A
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more
D D#dim Em7
You hung around keep my feet on the ground when I acted as proud as a fool
A D
We were kids and we've grown, we've got kids of our own Got to raise by the old golden rule
D D#dim Em7
Somehow it seems, some of our dreams got discarded somewhere on the road
A D D7
When all that was true could be found in the blue of your eyes that still sparkle and glow
CHORUS:
G DM7 Em7 F#m F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G F#m
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em A D D/C# D/B D/A
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more
D D#dim Em7
The Frost King has come and with a flick of his thumb turned the windows to renaissance art
A D
As we sit 'round the fire with no need to inquire 'bout the ways of the soul and the heart
D D#dim Em7
The years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh not noticing youth as it flew
A D D7
It's easy to tell that you wear your age well not trying to prove you're still you
CHORUS:
G DM7 Em7 F#m F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G F#m
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em A D D/C# D/B D/A
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more
**For an ending I just fade out with: D DM7 D6 DM7 etc.
