The story starts, it was a late (1)________________ night
She had a flower in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, like nothing (2)________ was wrong
She (3)____________ by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her (4)________ and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you (5)________ me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in (6)________ with that,

And this (12)________________ every year .. every year like clock work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years (13)________ exactly this date
A (14)__________ man was sent away to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to leave his home and his lover's (15)____________ eyes

It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him another 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 home 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 (16)________________ in the afterlife.

Won't you (17)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is (18)________ today
Until my bones (19)________ blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The (20)__________ man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance (21)________________ again or see how old that they had grown

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

November 2nd from (24)________ point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding (25)__________ with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we (26)________ is just today
Until my bones (27)________ blow away.
