When I hear footsteps come down the stairs
My knees start shaking as I fix my hair
I got you flowers, your favorite kind
I'm hoping to give you the time of your life
I remember when I took you to prom last year
I know it's different, but we're doing the best we can
We don't have all of the lights, and our friends aren't here
But play the music darling this our high school dance
Oh, this is our high school dance
Twirl you and spin you and lock in your gaze
Nothing seems different; it's all just the same
Dance until midnight like we always do
As if you're the only one in the room
I remember when I took you to prom last year
I know it's different, but we're doing the best we can
We don't have all of the lights, and our friends aren't here
But play the music darling this our high school dance
When we grow older I'll still take your hand
And we'll still be sayin' this is our high school dance
