The preacher's done talking and everybody's gone Darling it's just you and me again I know you're sleeping, guess you need your rest But it's hard for me to let you go this way
refrain: You said you'd save a dance for me, save a dance for me You said you'd save a dance for me, you said you'd save You said you'd save a dance for me
The first time we kissed was at the county fair You pressed up close and I held on tight to you You said whatever happens, I promise you this In the end I'll always save a dance for you refrain
The moment that I knew was when he took me aside That doctor wouldn't look me in the eye They were waiting on some paperwork, waiting on a bed While they were waiting you just closed your eyes refrain
See I brought you some flowers, the kind you always liked A bunch of black-eyed Susies from our yard Forty years together wasn't long enough to love you I guess that's what makes all of this so hard refrain
