Joe Pisapia - Dancing Partner lyrics

The day I went to visit her Soon after she turned ninety-four The coffee and the Entenmann's We talked as if we were old friends She filled me in on gossip All the seniors in the complex We talked about the days gone by And then she told me with a sigh, It's been twenty-seven years He's pa**ed away It still feels like yesterday The conversation turned to love As any long talk always does She asked about my situation Was there someone I was dating I told her of a pretty girl Who's teaching me to dance She told me how she love to dance But only with one man then she said, When they play that music I turn the other way Since my dancing partner's away Driving home so late that night My mind still recollecting All the many things we talked about Like living with and then without I wondered to myself if I would Ever love someone that way And in the echoes of that night I still can see her as she's saying, When they play that music I turn the other way Since my dancing partner's away
