I've spent my lifetime waiting for my day to come along For the perfect moment to arrive But those are few and far between if they exist at all And I've come to realize This truth, in life You can't believe how fast it flies So ask that girl to dance Whats the worst she could do It might break your heart but chances are She's wishing you would too You can spend your whole life sitting on your hands Or you can walk across the room And ask that girl to dance You wake up one morning, like a million times before Grab a cup and try to come to life You look into the mirror at a stranger looking back With a touch of gray and age in their eyes Wondering where, the time goes Take it from someone who knows You better ask that girl to dance What's the worst she could do It might break your heart but chances are She's wishing you would too You can spend your whole life sitting on your hands Or you can walk across the room And ask that girl to dance Don't spend your whole life sitting on your hands Just walk across the room And ask that girl to dance Now and then take a chance And ask that girl to dance
