There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face

You can't even see me at all

Oh, you look like an angel and you're out of place

At this downtown devil's bar

Do you wanna dance, girl?

You said "no, thanks"

And I watched you drift away

Well, you had your chance

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

If I come back here I might see you again

And maybe you'd say "yes"

But it's a losin' game that I'm tryin' to win

And I can only guess

Do you have somebody

Who watches you as you let down your hair

By the light of the moon

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

Knowin' you could've been the one

Do you wanna dance, girl?

You said "no, thanks"

And I watched you drift away

Well, you had your chance

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one...
