Intro x2 Bill’s been thinking a lot these days About the way things used to be He’s never been the kind of man To put much faith in destiny Sometimes he feels the warmth Of a fire from long ago Sometimes he steps into the night And all he feels is the winter cold Everybody dance around the fire tonight You don’t have to wait ’till it’s your turn Everybody dance a little closer to the flame tonight But don’t get burned Pray that you don’t get burned They met in high school And they never had a doubt There’d be some hard times But old Bill would find a way to work things out Katie had a way about her That made old Bill believe A small farm and three kids later It looked just like the perfect family But one day Bill found out what he should’ve known all along: Things fall apart sometimes One minute something’s there and then it’s gone With the kids in bed that night Katie gently shut the door She turned to Bill and said I’m sorry but I don’t love you anymore And now he spends his days Just like he’s always done You’d never guess the sorrow That he’s hid so well from everyone The house is empty now The kids grown up and gone And Bill slips into bed at night With Katie right by his side and they hold on Everybody dance around the fire tonight You don’t have to wait ’till it’s your turn Everybody dance a little closer to the flame tonight But don’t get burned Pray that you don’t get burned
