Cowboys and Clowns
Ronnie Milsap · 40 #1 Hits [Virgin] [2000]
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...
