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

He looked into her eyes and saw (4)______________ there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, 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,

He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she (7)____________ little to do with his gentle caress.

Won't you (8)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my (9)__________ just blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like (10)__________ work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten (11)__________ from exactly this date
A (12)__________ man was sent away to (13)__________ 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 heart and she wanted him to stay
But not (14)________ 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 (15)________ he was a (16)__________ (17)__________ man

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.

But what she didn't know, is that she had (21)__________ wrong
The young man did return, only to find (22)________ she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they 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 (23)________

November 2nd from this point on
He (24)________ sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So (25)________ could dance together, for (26)________ this one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

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