Will you have this dance with me?
Like we do once a year
You smell like bygone times
Oh, how I've missed you, my dear
Let's dance and pretend we don't know
What must happen when we hear the rooster crow, crow

Let's move to the song of the nightbird
Like we do once a year
You smell like roses and dirt
Oh, how I'll miss you, my dear

But now you must go
For we've just heard the rooster crow, crow
Crow, crow

Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever
And ever and ever and ever

I thank you for having this dance with me
I'll be here next year
To sniff you up and breathe you in
Oh, I already miss you, my dear

But now I must go
I'm walking away to the sound of the rooster's crow, crow
Crow, crow

Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
