Could I Ask You Not To Dance Lyrics

Could I Ask You Not To Dance

Now I really should have known that you'd show up sooner or later
Knowin' every Friday night they always have your favorite band
Though someone new is with you at our table
Would it be too much for me to ask to ask you not to dance
Chorus:
Not tonight, not until
My heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, til I'm gone
I won't be here very long
And when I leave, you can stay
And just dance the night away
But 'til then, do you think
That there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance
I saw you slip the leader of the band a piece of paper
I knew what song they'd play before he took it from your hand
I wonderin' if you'd do me one last favor
And if the answer's no I'll understand, could I ask you not to dance
Chorus (goes up ½ step to D#)
