Dance (While the Music Still Goes On)

ABBA · Thank You for the Music [1994]

Oh, my love it makes me sad

Why did things turn out so bad

Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had



Baby, give me one more dance

While the music still goes on

Don't think about tomorrow

Dance and forget our time is gone

Tonight's a night we borrow

Let's make it a memory, a night of our own

A thing to remember when we're all alone

So dance, it's our way to say goodbye

Yes, all we have to do is



Dance while the music still goes on

This is no time for crying

Dance, don't you hear them play our song

God knows that we've been trying

But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same

We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame

So dance while the music still goes on

And let it be our last goodbye



Yet it seems to make me sad

Why did things turn out so bad

Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had



Baby, give me one last dance

While the music still goes on

Just like the night I met you

Dance and believe me, when you're gone

You know I won't forget you

Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away

You tell me it's over, what more can I say

So dance while the music still goes on

It's gonna be our last goodbye



Dance while the music still goes on

Don't think about tomorrow

Dance and forget our time is gone

Tonight's a night we borrow

Let's make it a memory, a night of our own

A thing to remember when we're all alone

So

And let it be our last goodbye



Dance while the music still goes on

This is no time for crying

Dance, don't you hear them play our song

God knows that we've been trying

Dance while the music still goes on

Just like the night I met you

Dance and believe me, when you're gone

You know I won't forget you
