Careless Whisper

Saw this by chance on ATV when I came back from old nest. It's such an old song (1984!) and yet the memories are so vivid.

1984
George Michael
Careless Whisper

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind if your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find

Should've known better, yeaheah

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have no better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Oho

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind if your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have no better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, ohoho

What am I without your love?

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose the crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have made this last forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay!

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have no better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Ohoho

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
