       Am
Oh, my love it makes me sad.
          G
Why did things turn out so bad?
                C                    Am
Was it just a dream, everything we did,
               D
everything we had?


Baby, give me one more
 G                               C
Dance while the music still goes on
              D
Don't think about tomorrow
 G                            C
Dance and forget our time is gone
             D
Tonight's a night we borrow
       G
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
    C                     Cm
A thing to remember when we're all alone
    G               Em             C
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye
             D
Yes, all we have to do is

 G                               C
Dance while the music still goes on
            D
This is no time for crying
 G                                   C
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
                D
God knows that we've been trying
     G
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
    C                        Cm
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
    G               Em              C
So dance while the music still goes on
            D               G
And let it be our last goodbye

C   G/B Am
Yet it seems to make me sad
        G/B
Why did things turn out so bad?
                C                   Am
Was it just a dream, everything we did,
               D
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 going to be our last goodbye
