The band had started playing my favourite tune. That's when first I saw you from the far side of the room. My parolees were shaking, and my cheeks were glowing red. And as I crossed the dance floor, this is what I said.
[Meet me halfway, meet me halfway. I'm a little shy, I'm a country boy, so don't you run away. You know that I love you, but I don't know what to say. So take a chance, give me a dance, and meet me halfway.]
When we started courting, a problem soon we found. I lived in the country, and you lived in the town. As we strolled together, as the sun was going down. The answer to our problem was quite easily found.
CHORUS
When we got married and went on our honeymoon. We lay down together by the light of the moon. When the lights went out, my heart never stopped with fear. The room had started shaking as you whispered in my ear.
CHORUS
Forty years together, and we're still going strong. I'm glad that we both took a chance to that old country song. Although I'm getting feeble and my hair is turning grey. Sure I still get excited when you meet me halfway.
CHORUS
Take a chance, give me a dance. I wonder if there's any chance you'd meet me halfway.
