Late for the Party (feat. Brett Harris & Jason Foureman)
Chris Stamey
I got there late for the party
Nothing going on
So late for the party
Everyone was gone
But up on the bandstand
They had one more song
And so I made a request
For something sad and blue
I danced by myself
And did the old soft shoe
Then when they were done
I begged "One more"?
And I dreamed I held you tight
As we danced all through the night
But I was late for the party
And you
And now it seems
That we're always passing in the dark
Like strangers we meet by chance
And then we part
I thought that I saw you there
Along the road
I waved and you laughed at someone in the car
The light turned to green
And then we pulled apart
Are we meant to be a story never told?
Now I dream I hold you tight
With my eyes closed in the night
But I was too late for the party
And you
