THIS HOUR HAS SEVEN DAYS - Panel Discussion at CITF
We were just friends
whenever we met
we simply smiled hello
We had a short walk
exchanging small talk
Little did we know
That magical night
we met at a club
I asked if you wanted to dance
I held you near
had no idea
we were heading for romance
One dance with you
made me realize
You were my lady
you were my baby
as I looked in your eyes
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
Time has passed by
things havn't changed
I know they never will
We'll stay together
loving forever
Time had just stood still
Whenever we dance
it happens again
Just like it did before
'cause I hold you to me
memories run through me
as we go round the floor
One dance with you
made me realize
You were my lady
you were my baby
as I looked in your eyes
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
