The Dance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A crowded bar on a Friday night Two-step spinning under neon light His date walked out, but the music played I caught his eye and he chose to stay At Mainstream, the country songs rang true That's the night my whole world started new [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed for the dance Who bet his whole heart on a second chance Who held my babies like they were his own Bill, you gave us more than a house, you built a home [Verse 2] Six-month-old twins and a worn-out heart You loved us whole right from the start You signed the papers, you took their hands Became their daddy, became my man Then we made a daughter, our family grew Every chapter better 'cause I'm writing it with you [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed for the dance Who bet his whole heart on a second chance Who held my babies like they were his own Bill, you gave us more than a house, you built a home [Bridge] Twenty-eight years and we're still not done One more daughter on her way to become Part of this family you carry with pride Six grandkids runnin' and more on the ride [Verse 3] You're my best friend through the joy and the weight My steady hand, my forever date Still that boy from the bar who asked me to spin Bill, if I had it all to do over, I'd choose you again Your brown-eyed girl is still right here More in love with you every year [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed for the dance Who bet his whole heart on a second chance Who held my babies like they were his own Bill, you gave us more than a house, you built a home [Outro] So save me the next one, hold me tight You're still my favorite Saturday night
