Take off your mask
Place it on the mantle
Take my hand
Let me light the candlesDance with me a while
Let me you under your skin
Let me know those eyes
Tonight we can both winTomorrow I'll wait by the bridge
We can flee town, just answer
We can run into the sunset
You can be my lovely dancerSway with me a while
Stay with me a while
Let me love you
Your eyes and your smileI said I'd wait by the bridge
But I drive away before the sun set
You deserve better than me
You just don't know it yetI promised you the world
All I could offer was this town
I'm leaving, I'm so sorry
Sorry, for letting you downYou stand there in the dust
In the dust of my engine
I promise I'll come back for you
For our happy ending
