The Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the dance is over
Spinnin' around and around in a circle
Once you sit down you start it all over again
Laughin' so hard you lose all track of time
So shuffle your feet and follow the beat on down
And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to dance again
Everyone's slippin' away to the rhythm,
Lookin' to find someone to show them the light
So stare at the floor and pretend
You don't notice it's getting later and later tonight
And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to dance again
Go on and dance
Can you hear the sound of music playing?
Can you hear the sound of voices saying?
The night is young and there's
No need to hurry
So take your time, you don't
Have to worry
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Dance now darlin', you'll find romance
Waitin' just for you
There is moonlight if you care to
Stop and see it through
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Can you hear the sound of guitars playing?
Can you hear the sound of children saying?
The night is young and there's
No need to hurry
So take your time, you don't
Have to worry
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Dance now darlin', you'll find romance
Waitin' just for you (you know it's true)
There is moonlight if you care to
Stop and see it through (it's there for you)
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop dance, dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Ain't never gonna stop dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop dance, dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Ain't never gonna stop dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop dance, dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Ain't never gonna stop dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop dance, dance, dance, dancin'
Never gonna stop
Ain't never gonna stop my dancin'
Whenthe dance is over
And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to...
And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to...
