lyrics

Dance Tonight

We could dance tonight
Like nobody’s there
They could think what they like
But maybe we don’t care
At the edge of the spotlight
Oh, just outside of the glare
We could dance tonight
Like nobody’s there

I’m like a glass of wine
Filled to overflowing
Got a see-through heart
Full of longing and knowing
It’s just like love to rush up on you like that
And spill into every thought
And glow from every pore

Like this blushing and touching
And circling and romancing
These strange, strange heartbeats
Retreating and advancing
Just when I thought I'd never
take another chance
Oh I see those eyes shining,
And that soul-light dance…

(chorus)

You’re like an open book
Like a habit I’m learning
Like a sleepless night
Like the world stopped turning
It’s just like time to rush up on you like that
And alarm bells are ringing
And home fires are burning

You’re like sleeping in on Sunday
Like skipping piano lessons
Like blue, blue midnight
Kisses and confessions
They could judge all they like,
They could stone and they could stare
Ah just wrap me up in heaven,
In your long blonde hair
And we could dance tonight…

How many heartbeats in this measure?
How many songs left in the night?
If we could practice this forever,
We could get it right…

But we could dance tonight
(so lonely without you)

Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
