Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She came in with a fan
Lace and pearl in her hand
Southern belle, spin and smile
He wore a brass-button style
Union blue from cap to boot
Stiff-backed, sharp, and suit
They crossed that floor like sparks
through paper bats in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
The band in wrappings hit that groove
Everybody found their move
A sip, a grin, a shouted cheer
Like the whole night led them here
[Chorus]
Don’t let midnight win
Spin me once again
Keep that room alive
Till the morning light
Don’t let midnight win
One more song, let’s stay in
We can leave it all
When the moon falls
When the moon falls
[Verse 2]
Boots slid over confetti bones
Beer cups clinked in cardboard thrones
A countess laughed by the punch bowl ice
Someone yelled, “That couple’s nice”
He tipped her back, she twirled him round
Best dressed pair in the haunted town
Even the mummies in the band
Seemed to clap with wrapped-up hands
[Pre-Chorus]
The windows shook with every beat
Sweat and perfume, clapping feet
One more round, one more spin
Nobody wanted this to end
[Chorus]
Don’t let midnight win
Spin me once again
Keep that room alive
Till the morning light
Don’t let midnight win
One more song, let’s stay in
We can leave it all
When the moon falls
[Bridge]
Out in the yard, the cool air waits
But nobody wants those empty streets
So hold me close, and hold me here
Let the band keep playing Dear
[Final Chorus]
Don’t let midnight win
Spin me once again
Keep that room alive
Till the morning light
Don’t let midnight win
One more song, let’s stay in
We can leave it all
When the moon falls
Don’t let midnight win
(hey, hey)
Keep that room alive
(hey, hey)
One more song, let’s stay in
Till the moon falls
