"Can I Have This Dance?" is one of the singles from High School Musical 3: Senior Year and the fourth song heard in the movie and on the soundtrack. The song is sung in the movie by Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez.
Background[]
This song takes place in the rooftop garden from the first movie. In the movie, the song explains that Troy & Gabriella are trying to spend each moment together before they graduate. Soon after the dance and twirl around the garden, the sprinklers turn on and they both spin around while they get soaking wet. This song is a Hollywood-inspired musical number.
The second time this song is heard is when Troy drives all the way to Stanford thus missing the prom just to see Gabriella (Can I Have This Dance? (Reprise)). He says he isn't ready to say goodbye just yet so the 2 of them have their own prom at Stanford. They dance around the university and end it with a kiss. This convinces Gabriella enough to return to East High.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
Won't you promise me? (Now won’t you promise me)
That you'll never forget?
We'll keep dancin’ (To keep dancin')
Wherever we go next
[Chorus]
It's like catchin' lightnin'
The chances of findin' someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feelin' the way we do
And with every stеp together
We just keep on gеttin’ better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
[Verse 2]
Take my hand, I’ll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I’ll catch you through it all
And you can't keep us apart (Even a thousand miles can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (’Cause my heart is) wherever you are
[Chorus]
It's like catchin' lightnin'
The chances of findin' someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feelin' the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on gettin' better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
[Bridge]
Oh, no mountain's too high and no ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fightin' for
You know I believe that we were meant to be, yeah
[Chorus]
It's like catchin' lightnin'
The chances of findin' someone like you (Like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feelin' the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on gettin' better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
[Outro]
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
