I like the way that your hair falls away when the night brings a candle to you
   A                                                                                   D
And I like to stare as you come down the stair and the light from the landing shines through
D          D/C#         D/B          D/A              D                D#dim Em7       
How many fal-len leaves will it take to believe that autumn has finally come
     A                                                                                 D   D7
The weather's grown colder and we've both grown older it's hard to believe we're still one

CHORUS:
G                   DM7                     Em7                          F#m           F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G                         F#m             
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em                A                                D   D/C#   D/B   D/A   
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more 

D                                                                     D#dim Em7
You hung around keep my feet on the ground when I acted as proud as a fool 
        A                                                                                D
We were kids and we've grown, we've got kids of our own  Got to raise by the old golden rule
D                                                               D#dim Em7
Somehow it seems, some of our dreams got discarded somewhere on the road 
  A                                                                                    D   D7
When all that was true could be found in the blue of your eyes that still sparkle and glow

CHORUS:
G                   DM7                     Em7                          F#m           F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G                         F#m             
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em                A                                D   D/C#   D/B   D/A 
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more 

D                                                                                     D#dim Em7   
The Frost King has come and with a flick of his thumb turned the windows to renaissance art
      A                                                                               D  
As we sit 'round the fire with no need to inquire 'bout the ways of the soul and the heart
D                                                                   D#dim Em7
The years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh not noticing youth as it flew 
     A                                                                         D   D7
It's easy to tell that you wear your age well not trying to prove you're still you 

CHORUS:
G                   DM7                     Em7                          F#m           F#
Let's dance that old dance once more, we'll still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
G                         F#m             
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Em                A                                D   D/C#   D/B   D/A 
Lock up the door, let's dance that old dance once more
