Lyrics
Easy now, baby... Let the band pack up. The floor is still ours. Folding chairs are leaning on the wall Punch bowl's down to ice Your sister's carrying her shoes in her hand Cake crumbs on the paper plates Thirty years since I borrowed a tie Now I'm asking you twice Hear those violins rising? Somebody's dimming the lights Put your hand in mine, baby Don't you reach for your coat tonight Stay for the last song Stay for the last song Let the whole world go home Stay for the last song, baby Hold me like you did back then Stay for the last song You wore blue, and I wore nerves Now your head fits under my chin Two kids grown, the house paid off Every hard winter on the picket line You kept the porch light burning And you always let me in Hear that horn coming? Feel it in your bones Put your hand in mine, baby You never had to dance alone Look around, sweet woman. Everybody here came to see us. But I only came for you. One more turn. One more slow turn. Stay for the last song Stay for the last song Let the whole world hear it Stay for the last song, baby Hold me like it's the first time Stay for the last song Stay! Stay with me! Thirty years, and I'm not done! Oh, the whole room's singing! Stay for the last song Stay, baby, stay
