I Still Dance For You

Lyrics

[Intro] [Whispered male] You said, “Smile for them” So I smile for them [Verse 1: Male] At the wedding, you wore blue I wore the shirt you gave me Everybody saw us move Nobody saw your fingers shake You asked me if I’d eaten I said, “Yes, I’m fine, my dear” We kept time beside the speakers With goodbye between our feet [Female Response] Your hand still knows my shoulder My heart still knows your name We laugh when all our friends look over Then turn away the same [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] [Male] If I hold you one more moment [Female] I may not let you go [Male] So we hide it in the dancing [Female] Where nobody has to know I still dance for you, dance for you Though I can’t come home to you Smile all night, then cry at dawn I still dance when you are gone I still dance for you, dance for you My heart keeps choosing you [Post-Chorus: Female, layered] Dance for you, dance for you Still my heart keeps choosing you [Verse 2: Female] Your old voice note is saved in my phone I play it low when the house is still You say my name like we’ve got a home I close my eyes, and I almost will At the party, I lean your way You take my hand, then let it fall We tell our friends we’re doing okay And give them the brightest lie of all [Male Response] I still carry your scarf in my suitcase Still leave your side of the bed alone If love could change what the years have written I’d be the first one bringing you home [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] [Male] If I hold you one more moment [Female] I may not let you go [Male] So we hide it in the dancing [Female] Where nobody has to know I still dance for you, dance for you Though I can’t come home to you Smile all night, then cry at dawn I still dance when you are gone I still dance for you, dance for you My heart keeps choosing you [Instrumental Dance Break] [Rolling log drums, warm bass, guitar motif, soft wordless harmonies] [Male] If you call, I’ll answer [Female] If you stay, I’ll break [Male] One more song together [Female] One more smile to fake [Duet] We say, “No wahala” But our eyes tell the truth The room keeps turning round us I still belong to you [Final Chorus: Duet, layered harmonies] I still dance for you, dance for you Though I can’t come home to you Smile all night, then cry at dawn I still dance when you are gone I still dance for you, dance for you My heart keeps choosing you Dance for you… Still choosing you… [Male] Smile for them [Female] Cry when we’re through
