'COULD I HAVE THIS DANCE' 

I'll always remember the song they were playin' 
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 

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life 
Would 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 moved together, I knew forever 
You're all I'll ever need 

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life 
Would 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 
Would 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
