this in an instant before I can kiss you a woman
now standing where once there was only a girl

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered 
to see how we're ending our last dance together 
reluctantly cautiously but prettier than ever 
I really believe that this time it's forever

But christmas falls late now flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall 
and even if we drink I don't think we would kiss 
in the way that we did when the woman was only a girl

The story behind the song

"Last Dance" explores the poignant realization that strong feelings for someone from the past can fade, leaving a "horrible sensation" when you meet them again. It delves into the passage of time and how it shapes relationships, often leaving behind only memories of fleeting happiness. The song paints a picture of an imploding relationship, set against a winter backdrop where good times are no longer good, embodying an epic melancholy. It's a heartbreaking reflection on childhood love that doesn't survive into adulthood, and the chill that can settle into a relationship.
