Lyrics

by George Wirth [1]

I ain’t no dancer, I never have been one
Some let it all out, I keep it all in on
The inside, down in the dark, right where it belongs

I know that a dance is the one thing you’ve wanted
To glide round the floor, unshackled, undaunted
Holdin’ each other, hummin’ along with the song

Now I might be mistaken, but ain’t that a waltz they’re playin’?
The dance floor is full, couples are spinin’ and swayin’ 
Swayin’...

If a dance was a diamond, I would have bought it 
Anything honey, you want it you got it
Whatever it takes, I’ll do my best to come through

So hold on sugar, here it comes baby
I’d be delighted, if you would accompany me
Out on the floor for a turn with an old dancin’ fool

Now I might be mistaken, but ain’t that a waltz they’re playin’?
The dance floor is full, couples are spinnin’ and swayin’ 
Swayin’...

And if we close our eyes and hold on to each other
Who knows baby, we may discover
That the world slips away and we can dance without movin’ at all

So let the night go by, let the lights turn blue
You hold on to me, and I’ll hold on to you
We’ll let it all slip away and dance without movin’ at all

Let it all slip away and dance without movin’ at all
