Three-Quarter Time

Three-Quarter Time

[Verse]
Prom dress on in a sawdust room
Radio low, just me and you
Your shoes too big, my counting slow
One, two, three — I taught you all I know

[Chorus]
Nora, it's three-quarter time (three-quarter time)
One last waltz while the floor's still mine
I'll count you in, then I'll count you gone (count you gone)
One, two, three — and the dance goes on

[Verse]
I build things slow, I measure twice
Cut you a dance floor, sanded it nice
There's sawdust still on your hemline, see
You're the finest thing I'll ever make — go free

[Chorus]
Nora, it's three-quarter time (three-quarter time)
One last waltz while the floor's still mine
I'll count you in, then I'll count you gone (count you gone)
One, two, three — and the dance goes on

[Bridge]
(mmm, Nora)
I led so you could learn the floor
Turns out the steps were never mine to store —
you carry them out the door

[Final Chorus]
Nora, it's three-quarter time (three-quarter time)
One last waltz while the floor's still mine
I'll let go of the count, you keep the song (keep the song)
One, two, three — and the dance goes on

[Outro]
(one, two, three...)
Nora... go on
