The story starts, it was a late November night
She had a flower 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 pale as dawn
He looked into her and saw there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of you know 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 that,
a pretty little women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted little to do with his gentle caress.
Won't you dance me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is today
Until my bones just blow away.
And this happened every year .. year like clock work.
But let me first tell how it really began
About ten years from this date
A young man was sent away to 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 even her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday with tears
1st was the time she cried
thinking he'd be 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 couldn't understand.
So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by throwing herself into the well. She together, they'd be together in the afterlife.
Won't you dance with me tonite
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 heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance again or see how old that they had grown
The next day he by the
burned candles in the he'd been the one that fell
He knew her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to for her, she had done for all those years
November 2nd from this point on
He made he patrolled the break of dawn
So they dance together, for this one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte
Won't you dance me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
my bones just blow away.
