Standing beside of the deep ocean
Looking out across the water
Everything is beautiful here
But I still don't feel like I oughta.
Things we wanted
Not so long ago
I got 'em all now, baby
But I ain't got you no more.
But I remember the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancin' the night away.
I remember everything
Dresses you used to wear
You were so light and graceful
You seem to float right through the air.
Me, I looked so funny dancin'
But you loved me anyhow
Aw, I wish I could find somebody
That love me like that now.
But I remember the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancin' the night away.
Ah ha.., woo
--- Instrumental ---
Standing beside of the deep ocean
Looking out across the bay
I should look for companionship
But it just gets in my way.
The lights are flickerin'
All along the shore
I see people dancin' there
But I just don't dance no more.
Because I remember the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancin' the night away.
Hey, let's see you dance
Let me see you dance
Oh, baby, let me see you dance.
I want to see you dance
I want to see you dance one more time
Oh, babe, let me see you dance, dance, dance.
I want to see you dance
Let me see you dance
Oh, babe, let me see you dance
I want to see you dance
I want to see you dance
Oh, babe, let me see you dance
Just one more time
I want to see you dance the night away
I want to see you dance
Oh, babe, let me see you dance.
One more time
I gotta see you dance now
In that pretty red dress
I want to see you dance.
Oh, I wanna see you dance...
