lyrics

It’s been a long time since we said our goodbyes
Shelved memories in the back of our minds
We both hoped in time, some friendship we’d find
Make peace with our broken ties.

The band played a waltz and from across the room
Your blue eyes met with mine
What could it hurt? It’s just one dance
Lit by the bar’s neon lights.

Chorus:
I thought I was over you
I thought I was free and strong
I took a chance, when I asked you to dance,
That’s when I learned I was wrong.

It felt so strange to hold you
To have your heartbeat close to mine
Those hands and arms I used to know so well
Still felt like home this time

I hardly shed a tear since we first parted,
Ending so many long years with you
But our dance is done, you’re walking away
My heart’s breaking open anew.

Chorus (2x)

I happened upon Tuba Skinny and Erika L buskin’ in New Orleans on YouTube! I have Loved them ever since and play their albums daily! As a musician and band member in Canada, I can say that Tuba Skinny and their soulful renditions touched my soul in ways that have uplifted my life. We in the “great White North” can only dream of making New Orleans jazz like T S. Long Live Tuba Skinny and may their music become world wide for the enjoyment of all!! Davey1
