Lyrics
It's such a pleasure to dance with you
Sharing a moment so pure, we two
I see that you're smiling,And you've got my heart in a whirl.
If we can keep dancing,I know you'll still be my girl.
Here on the dance floor, what could go wrong?
Both of us lost in this joyful song. Most nights have no luster, But this one, my dear, is a pearl.
If we can keep dancing,I know you'll still be my girl. (Instrumental)
You have your worries and I have mine.
Lately I've been rather saturnine.
I long to just see you, oh how I need you in my world.
If we can keep dancing, I know you'll still be my girl. (Instrumental)
You and me, oh I hope you see
We still have things to share
Time goes past, and good things don't last
But I'll always, always care
And if we can keep dancing, I know you'll still be my girl
If we can keep dancing,I know you'll still be my girl.
