Prettiest Girl at the Dance Songtext

von Mike Ryan

I stopped in the old tin angel for a cold one
You didn't even know that I was there
Yeah too little too late is such an old one
Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't care

So I'm sitting here tonight
Looking at my life
Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance
I guess I got what I deserved
The truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance

I don't know how long I expected
That I could keep you waltzing through my door
Yeah I sat out when I should have stepped in
But let you drift away across the floor

So I'm sitting here tonight
Looking at my life
Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance
I guess I got what I deserved
The truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance

Well I tore down the good things that made us right
Now I'm the one that's living with regrets
Yeah it was me that turned out all the lights
But you took the music when you left

So I'm sitting here tonight
Looking at my life
Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance
I guess I got what I deserved
The truth is you always were
The prettiest girl at the dance
I guess I got what I deserved
The truth is I went and hurt
The prettiest girl at the dance
