Could I Have This Dance

I'll always remember,
The song they were playing,
The first time we danced and I knew.

As we swayed to the music,
And held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Chorus:
Could I have this dance
For the rest of my life?
Could you be my partner
Every night?
When we're together
It feels so right.
Could I have this dance
For the rest of my life?

I'll always remember,
That magic moment,
When I held you close to me

As we move together,
I knew forever,
you're all I'll ever need.

Could I have this dance
For the rest of my life?
Could you be my partner
Every night?
When we're together
It feels so right.
Could I have this dance
For the rest of my life?

Could I have this dance
For the rest of my life?
Could you be my partner
Every night?
When we're together
It feels so right.
Could I have this dance
For the rest --of --my life!!
