Fred Astaire › Lyrics › Slow Dance

Do you remember our first dance together?
I prayed for a slow song, it felt like forever
Then I made my move, you smiled as I reached for you

I had this feeling that you would be my girl
And as the band played, 'Welcome To My World'
We both had to laugh at the song fate had chose for

You and me 'cause every word fit so perfectly
And every feeling we felt is still true
Life is a slow dance with you

Each moment without you is one moment too long
'Cause every love song that I hear is our song
Who would have believed after all this time it's still

You and me 'cause every word fit so perfectly
And every feeling we felt is still true
Life is a slow dance with you

Oh, it's just me and you
Together we're right where we're meant to be
And I'm sure that I'll say when my time is through
Thanks for the slow dance with you, oh, with you
