Cowboys and Clowns

Ronnie Milsap · 40 #1 Hits [Virgin] [2000]

I'll always remember the song they were playin'

The first time we danced and I knew

As we swayed to the music and held to each other

I fell in love with you.



Chorus:

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life

Would you be my partner every night

When were together it feels so right

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life.



I'll always remember that magic moment

When I held you close to me

As we moved together

I knew forever you're all I'll ever need.



Chorus:

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life

Would you be my partner every night

When were together it feels so right

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life.



Chorus:

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life

Would you be my partner every night

When were together it feels so right

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life...
