Was it so hard for you to tell me
I can't read your mind
We could go on forever
But I can't live this lie
So we'll say goodbye
And we'll take this last dance together
I'll hold you one more time
As they played the last serenade
Lord knows we tried
But there was no other way
And we can't hold on
After the love is gone
They're playin' our song
The last serenade
As we dance, let's remember
The way we used to be
But time has gone on and left us
With only memories
So we'll say goodbye
And we'll spend this last night together
I'll hold you one more time
As they played the last serenade
Lord knows we tried
But there was no other way
To hold on
After the love is gone
They're playing my song
The last serenade
There's no one to blame here
No reason to cry
Nothin' left to say
Just love gone by
Darlin', in my mind
We'll dance this last dance forever
So kiss me one last time
As they played the last serenade
Lord knows we tried
But there was no other way
To hold on
After the love is gone
They're playing our song
As they played the last serenade
I know we tried
But there was no other way
To hold on
After the love is gone
They're playing our song
The last serenade
