Nearly never made it to that dance the other night

Nearly stayed at home again - alone and out of sight

So glad I went and found you there

And found again that I could care

This loser's heart was stil so sore from all the hurt it had before

 

You looked at me and in your eyes I saw a stare of wild surprise

Everything stood still and then - you smiled and love began again

 

Nearly never made it to your side the other night

Nearly lost the nerve to think that life could turn out right

So glad I did and took a chance - and found love waiting for a dance

When I saw you in that crowd this heart began to beat out loud

 

You looked at me and in your eyes I saw a stare of wild surprise

Everything stood still and then - you smiled and love began again

 

Nearly never made it to that dance the other night

Nearly stayed at home again, alone and out of sight

So glad I went and found you there and found a dream that I could share

When I took you by the hand this heart was singing with the band

 

You looked at me and in your eyes I saw a stare of wild surprise

Everything stood still and then - you smiled and love began again.
