LYRICS OF DANCE SONGS

Dancing in the dark till the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you, love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark


You can dance, every dance, with the guy who gives you the eye and let him hold you tight, but darling, save the last dance for me.

Do you want to dance and hold my hand
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Hold me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight

Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more

I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night

Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evening for some Terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor

And while the rhythm swings
What lovely things I'll be sayin'
'Cause what is dancing
Making love set to music, playin'

When the band begins to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home, cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me

We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it…With every move I die
I'm faded; I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losing it…With every move I die.

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance madame with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're lovely
You know what, you're so lovely
And you know what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Specially when you do The Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos
And that's why

I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms, I won't dance

There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill and while we still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance

Soon we'll be without the moon, humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me

Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick your feet up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me

Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you where you want to go

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me

Hey, baby, won't you take a chance?
Say that you'll let me have this dance

Well, let's dance, well, let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let's dance, well let's dance

Hey, baby, yeah, you thrill me so
Hold me tight, don't you let me go

Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
When we're close like this
Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss

Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
(Loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love


I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some bell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance (Rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who)
I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder where those years have gone)

I'll always remember,
the song they were playing,
The first time we danced and I knew

As we swayed to the music,
and held to each other,
I fell in love with you

Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life,
Could you be my partner
every night,
when we're together
it feels so right,
Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life

I'll always remember,
that magic moment,
When I held you close to me

As we move together,
I knew forever,
you're all I'll ever need

Don't talk of love right now, dance on

Although the lights are low, forget it

Wait until we're alone, wait until we go home

Come on please, I don't tease

Just dance on

Don't try and kiss me now, dance on

You might be feeling quite romantic

But I'll dance cheek to cheek

Or we?ll miss every beat

Just dance on

Give me the sweet talk when we're leaving

From midnight on it's worth believing

You know the night has just begun

And while the music keeps on playing

Hold me close, hold me near

And I promise you?ll hear

How the beat of my heart will dance on

Give me the sweet talk when we're leaving

From midnight on it's worth believing

You know the night has just begun

And while the music keeps on playing

Hold me close, hold me near

And I promise you?ll hear

How the beat of my heart will dance on

You left me standing at the dance alone,
You said that I could walk you home.
The dance is o-o-over,the dance is over,
And you are gone.

Whoa,my darling I said I'd be thankful
As the morning sun,
You kissed me baby it was all in fun.
The dance is over, the dance is over,
And you are gone.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

THOUGHTS ON "THE DANCE"

Thoughts on the dance:  I don’t know why more people don’t dance.  When children hear music, they often start to move as the music takes them.  When I hear music today, it makes me want to experience the pure pleasure of the melody and rhythm by grabbing my partner and dancing across the floor.  As a youth, I danced for the fun of it.  Now, I dance to escape the cares of this world and move to a better place.

The dance is a metaphor for life.  It has a beginning, a middle part and an end.  So quickly, we all come to the end of the song.  We don’t remember much about the beginning, but let us enjoy the middle part as long as we can.

To dance is to escape

Why not just get up and dance.

To dance with a partner throughout life, is to experience joy that can’t be compared to anything else.

I believe we were all created with an ability to dance…to experience the joy that it brings and the music that we hear.

As you dance, express what you hear.

My wish is that more people would dance.
