Rob McDougall - "One Last Dance" (Original Song)

I've said it before - I'm not very original when it comes to writing lyrics, it just doesn't come naturally to me. But after recently breaking up with (ie. getting dumped, albeit nicely, by) a girlfriend of 2 years it sure did, and this song is the result. You might say the lyrics are very much based on a true story. Man, dating is hard. Anyways, hope you all like. What I'd REALLY like to hear is somebody who can actually sing - like Luke Bryan - sing this song, I think his voice would suit it.

*Lyrics*

She was a couple years younger
But at least a year smarter
I was her first
And she was my best

We started off slow
But my heart kept beatin' harder
She was pretty like an angel
But different from the rest

We were cuddlin' and kissin'
Our first summer together
We were both fallin' fast
It didn't take very long

We'd stay up half the night
Wishin it would last forever
I'd bring her home late
Those feelings grew strong

But now that's all in the past
I guess I should've known
It never could last

But I still wish for one last dance
One more hot summer night
Another walk holdin' hands
It would just feel so right

Just one more kiss
Is all I can dream
Beneath a blanket of stars
I can picture the scene

Yeah she's still got my heart in a trance
As I sit here and wish for one last dance

The night she broke my heart
The night everything changed
I made my way down
To the local county fair

I stopped cryin' and started drinkin'
Tried to drown out the pain
But that town never seemed smaller
When I saw her there

She was having a ball with her friends
Right then it hit me, that her love
Was someone else's to win

And I still wish for one last dance
One more hot summer night
Another walk holdin' hands
It would just feel so right

Just one more kiss
Is all I can dream
Beneath a blanket of stars
I can picture the scene

Yeah she's still got my heart in a trance
As I sit here and wish for one last dance

Well I fought back the tears
Turned and walked through the crowd
Headed over to the stage and listened to the band

But I guess she must've seen me
Cuz she snuck up from behind
Tapped me on the shoulder then took me by the hand

And there we danced one last dance
On that hot summer night
It was a whirlwind of emotion
But it just felt so right

That one last dance
Barely movin our feet
We held each other close
Her hair smelled so bittersweet

Yeah that one last dance
It's still frozen in my mind
If I could just get her back
I'd leave everything behind

Cuz she's still got my heart in a trance
It's still sittin there in the palms of her hands
As I sit here and wish...for just one last dance

One last dance

You know this song is amazing. Somehow it describes my last relationship. I could see Luke Bryan doing this song but i don't think it would be as good at all, you have the emotion and heart for this song. It's by far one of my favorites now.

@scooterville92 Thanks a lot...cool to hear that somebody can relate.

I can sit here has already see this song on CMT, GMA, some damn video channel that harldy plays vids any more!!

Its perfect for a vid shot at a lake, bowling alley, small town fair with a dirt dance floor.

I hope someone notices this and picks up the song. You are by far good enough to go after a career on you own but if thats not an option Id say your attempt at writing a song on your own went very well.

You really need to get this to someone and get paid an as load of royalties!!!!!!!!!
