The story starts, it was a late (1)________________ night
She had a (2)____________ in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, like (3)______________ else was wrong
She danced by him with her face as (4)________ as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't (5)______________ we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close when I'm (6)______________ my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women (7)________ an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted (8)____________ to do (9)________ his gentle caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

And this happened every (10)________ .. every year like clock work.

But let me first (11)________ how it really began

About ten (12)__________ from (13)______________ this date
A young man was sent away to (14)__________ in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to leave his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her (15)__________ and she wanted him to stay
But not (16)________ her gentle (17)__________ could persuade him (18)______________ way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday with tears

November 1st was the last time she cried
thinking he'd be coming (19)________ but all she heard was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave young man
But it was news his young lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by throwing herself into the well. She thought together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my (20)__________ just blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that (21)________ were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that they had grown

The next day he placed flowers by the well
burned (22)______________ in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't (23)____________ (24)________ just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (25)________ for all those years

November 2nd from this (26)__________ on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding hands (27)________ his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance (28)________ me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we (29)________ is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
