I walked into the club tonight Just trying to clear my head The music's playing our old song The one that always made you sway And now I'm standing here alone While memories replay Every beat, every rhythm takes me back To when you were here, when we had what we had Dancing with your ghost tonight I can feel you, but you're not by my side (Dancing with your ghost tonight) (I can feel you, but you're not by my side) Your favorite spot against the wall Is where somebody else stands now I close my eyes and picture you The way you moved through every crowd They say that time will heal it all But time moves way too slow Every song reminds me of your face Every dancer moves at your old pace Dancing with your ghost tonight I can feel you, but you're not by my side (Dancing with your ghost tonight) (I can feel you, but you're not by my side) Yeah, I remember that night, headed home from the dance One moment we're laughing, next moment no chance They say life ain't fair, and now I know that it's true 'Cause every single night I spend my time missing you On the floor, moving slow, but my heart's beating fast Trying to hold onto moments that weren't meant to last But the music keeps playing, and I keep on staying 'Cause this beat's the only thing that keeps me from breaking Sometimes I think I see you there Moving through the strobe lights' glare But when I reach out for your hand You fade away, and I understand Dancing with your ghost tonight I can feel you, but you're not by my side (Dancing with your ghost tonight) (I can feel you, but you're not by my side)
