Now it's been many year's since that evening that old hall's not used anymore
Except for an old man who's walking 'cross that old dusty wooden dance floor
The children all laugh through the window the danceband's not there to be heard
But her eyes light up as he holds out his hand she still remembers those words
Chorus
D D/F# G G/F#
Their love will last forever
Em A D
