Will you have this dance with me? Like we do once a year You smell like bygone times Oh, how I've missed you, my dear Let's dance and pretend we don't know What must happen when we hear the rooster crow Let's move to the song of the nightbird Like we do once a year You smell like roses and dirt Oh, how I'll miss you, my dear But now you must go For we've just heard the rooster crow Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever And ever and ever and ever I thank you for having this dance with me I'll be here next year To sniff you up and breathe you in Oh, I already miss you, my dear But now I must go I'm walking away to the sound of the rooster's crow Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever And ever and ever and ever
