Clay Walker - Could I Ask You Not To Dance lyrics

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

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

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
