“We Don’t Go Dancing...

Written by Frank DeCenso

"We Don't Go Dancing Anymore"
ⓒ Frank A.DeCenso, Jr.


[VS1]
I remember our first date like it was yesterday,
Your Levi's jeans couldn't be a better fit;
L'Oréal on your lips and the way you swayed -
Oh, and Chanel number 5's still my favorite...

[VS2]
The last song was McGraw, and I whispered what he said,
My shaky hands were holding on your hips;
When that night ended and I laid alone in bed,
Girl, I never dreamt it could get as good as this...

[CHORUS]
We don't go dancing anymore,
The years have made us forget how to move right on that floor;
But we don't need some new love song,
With steel guitar and violin -
So let's close our eyes right here -
And go dancing there again...

[Vs3]
I'm laying here tonight with your head on my chest,
We've been a few miles since the day you said, "I do";
If you're not in a dream now, you can waltz right into mine,
Honey, I only wanna dance in there with you...

[CHORUS]
We don't go dancing anymore,
The years have made us forget how to move right on that floor;
But we don't need some new love song,
With steel guitar and violin -
So let's close our eyes right here -
And go dancing there again...

[BRIDGE]
The hour's late,
But that first date,
Has got me thanking God, that...
You'll always be,
Dancing with me,
That's all I'll ever want...

[CHORUS]
We don't go dancing anymore,
The years have made us forget how to move right on that floor;
But we don't need some new love song,
With steel guitar and violin -
So let's close our eyes right here -
And go dancing there again...

[OUTRO]
We don't need some new love song,
With steel guitar and violin -
Let's close our eyes and go dancing there again.

I remember our first date like it was yesterday...
