Break Up Slow Dance

(album: Black Coffee - 2020)

There was a time
When my lips were wine
Your favorite kind
But now there's a sour taste
There was a moment
I called you home
The best I had known
But now it's an empty place
Baby, baby, baby
I'm afraid I see the end
You can hold me closer
But it's hard to fight it when

They're playing our song
But it's clearing the floor
It's no good anymore
But we didn't notice
The lights are all on
But we're still closing our eyes
Wish we had a little more time
But everything is broken
And we can't change that
The breakup slow dance
Break up slow dance

Remember we'd say
On Champs-Élysées
We'd get married someday
But baby we never did
My mother cried
She knew the whole time
That look in your eyes
Meant you weren't made for your it
Baby, baby, baby
I'm afraid I see the end
You can hold me closer
But it's hard to fight it when

They're playing our song
But it's clearing the floor
It's no good anymore
But we didn't notice
The lights are all on
But we're still closing our eyes
Wish we had a little more time
But everything is broken
And we can't change that
It's the breakup slow dance
Break up slow dance

Close your eyes and dance with me
Maybe this will all be a dream
Close your eyes and dance with me
We can end this tenderly
