She met him on a blind date,
At the old Tree Top Cafe,
They were talking, they were laughing,
It was a gorgeous summers day.

Before long things had grown
Into something so much more.
They couldn't wait to see the wonders
The future had in store.

The one night, a fancy dinner,
And an in house five piece band,
They were tearing up that dance floor,
Swinging 'round near hand in hand.

The music was electric,
It became their special tune.
And by the time song was over,
They were the darlings of the room.

They danced like no one's watching,
They danced with all their heart.
Two people meant to be together,
Romance, passion, drama, art.

Soon the wedding bells were ringing,
She looked so lovely dressed in white,
Two hundred fifty in the chapel,
It was a fascinating sight.

But not quite one year later,
She barely had the ring.
Three and a half months pregnant.
He came home and packed his things.

He said it wasn't working,
But she was not to blame.
He said there was no other woman,
Just his own remorse and shame.

Soon it would be revealed,
He deceived her and he lied,
And on that day inside her soul,
The lovely music died.

So she's alone and crass and bitter,
How did this ever come to be?
The truth behind the man he was,
Why did she never truly see?

Then some long months later
On a lonely winters day,
She'll put the music on again,
And when the song begins to play...

She'll dance like no ones watching
She'll dance with all her heart,
She won't let him take it from her,
She won't let it fall apart.

Her son is five years old now,
He's an amazing little kid.
Someday he'll know her sacrifices,
And why she did the things she did.

It hasn't all been easy,
She's seen her share of grim.
But everything was worth it,
If not for her, than him.

And the old ex is out there somewhere,
But she could not care any less,
She doesn't need the headaches,
And she doesn't need the stress.

She has done just fine without him,
And though its true he did her wrong.
She's got it all together now,
And she's taken back her song.

She'll dance like no ones watching,
She'll dance with all her heart,
She'll dance her way to freedom,
She will never fall apart.
