The First Dance Songtext
von Trail West

Ten days of the year it′s as warm as this
There's a wedding on the shore as the morning mist clears
I turned to you as I shed a tear
Thinking of everything that lead us here
There was something in your eye that I had never seen
And I′ve known you'd be the one since we were seventeen
So nervous I was shaking as I took my chance
So darling could I have this dance
Ohh, the first dance is lifting us up
Watching the floor from above
Holding your dress as you're tripping up
I′m pulling you closer, ohh
Grá mo chroí, my dear, my love
Just couldn′t believe my luck
You're squeezing my hand as they call us up
For the first dance of us
Five years to the day we were twenty two
Said I′ve loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you
Take my hand, take my knee, take my whole life too
You said the answer I already knew


We were waltzing round the room swaying hand in hand
As your father sang mo ghràidh with the wedding band
Take your partners to the floor
Heel toe heel toe
Arm and arm and row on row
Ohh, the first dance is lifting us up
Watching the floor from above
I'm holding your dress as you′re tripping up
I'm pulling you closer, ohh
Grá mo chroí, my dear, my love
Just couldn′t believe my luck
You're squeezing my hand as they call us up
For the first dance of us
The first dance of us
Ten days of the year it's as cold as this
And I took you to the shore where we had our first kiss
Standing on the sand where we made our vows
If only they could see us now
You asked me if I′d love you when you′re old and grey
I still look at you the same as on our wedding day
Still thankful I was drunk enough to take my chance
Oh darling could I have this dance
Ohh, the first dance is lifting us up
Watching the floor from above
I'm holding your dress as you′re tripping up
I'm pulling you closer, ohh
Grá mo chroí, my dear, my love
Just couldn′t believe my luck
You're squeezing my hand as they call us up
For the first dance of, ohh
The first dance is lifting us up
Watching the floor from above
I′m holding your dress as you're tripping up
I'm pulling you closer, ohh
Grá mo chroí, my dear, my love
Just couldn′t believe my luck
You′re squeezing my hand as they call us up
For the first dance of us
The first dance of us
