Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"Brand New Dance"

(Paul Kennerley)

Darlin' you're tired
I can see it in your eyes
I know how you feel
We've been together
Too long to conceal.

What's in our hearts
Maybe we should part
But after so many years
That would only bring loneliness
Sorrow and tears
And anyway:

I never would
Never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends.

There will always be days
When it don't seem to pay
When it just doesn't rhyme
Well, that's bound to happen
Some of the time.

Our best days aren't gone
We don't need to move on
Well, maybe we should try
But I don't think you could take it
And neither could I.
And anyway:

I never would
Never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends.

Darlin' come here
Love's not disappeared
You're just feelin' low
Well, let me tell you my darlin'
That's a feelin' I know.

It don't mean too much
We just got out of touch
Well, it's easy to change
'Cause lovin' you's not too hard to arrange.
And anyway:

I never would
Never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends.

We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends.
Yes, we'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends...
