Lyrics
[verse]
Empty room but I still feel your weight
Playing out the same old scene, running late
I keep dancing with a ghost that isn't there
Moving slow to a song only I can hear
[verse]
You said forever but forever came and went
Left me holding memories I never meant
To carry this far into the lonely night
Still I'm swaying underneath this dim light
[chorus]
Slow dancing in the dark, all by myself
Holding onto love that's sitting on a shelf
Nobody's here but the shadow of you
Slow dancing in the dark, don't know what to do
Still moving to a song that's already gone
Slow dancing till the night turns to dawn
[verse]
I keep the record spinning just to fill the space
Trying to remember every detail of your face
Some nights the silence gets too hard to bear
So I dance alone just to pretend you're there
[chorus]
Slow dancing in the dark, all by myself
Holding onto love that's sitting on a shelf
Nobody's here but the shadow of you
Slow dancing in the dark, don't know what to do
Still moving to a song that's already gone
Slow dancing till the night turns to dawn
[bridge]
Maybe one day I'll turn the music off
Maybe one day I'll finally let it go soft
Until then I'll keep this slow embrace
Dancing with the memory of your grace
[chorus]
Slow dancing in the dark, all by myself
Holding onto love that's sitting on a shelf
Nobody's here but the shadow of you
Slow dancing in the dark, don't know what to do
Still moving to a song that's already gone
Slow dancing till the night turns to dawn
