I was reminiscing just the other day 
While having coffee all alone 
And lord it took me away 
Back to a first glance feeling on New York time 
Back when you fit my poems 
Like a perfect rhyme 
Took off faster than a green light, go 
Yeah you skip the conversation when you already know 
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made 
And that was the first day 

And darling it was good 
Never looking down 
And right there where we stood 
Was holy ground 

Spinning like girl in a brand new dress 
We had this big wide city all to ourselves 
We block the noise with the sound of “I need you” 
And for the first time I had something to lose 
And I guess we fell apart in the usual way 
And the story's got dust on every page 
But sometimes I wonder 
How you think about it now 
And I see your face in every crowd 

Cause darling it was good 
Never looking down 
And right there where we stood 
Was holy ground 

Tonight I’m gonna dance 
For all that we've been through 
But I don't want to dance 
If I’m not dancing with you 
Tonight I’m gonna dance 
Like you were in this room 
But I don't want to dance 
If I’m not dancing with you 

It was good 
Never looking down 
And right there where we stood 
Was holy ground 

Tonight I’m gonna dance 
For all that we've been through 
But I don't want to dance 
If I’m not dancing with you 
Tonight I’m gonna dance 
Like you were in this room 
But I don't want to dance 
If I’m not dancing with you
