Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by It's so hard to make every note bend just right You lay down the hours and leave not one trace But a tune for the dancing is there in its place Well, the dance floor's for gliding and not jumping over ponies Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should It's for celebrating a Friday night romance Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by It's so hard to make every note bend just right You lay down the hours and leave not one trace But a tune for the dancing is there in its place
Oh, an arm's just an arm till it's wrapped 'round a shoulder Looped side-by-side, they go stepping out together A note's just a note till you wake from your slumber And dare to discover the new melody Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by It's so hard to make every note bend just right You lay down the hours and leave not one trace But a tune for the dancing is there in its place Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by It's so hard to make every note bend just right You lay down the hours and leave not one trace But a tune for the dancing is there in its place Ooh, ooh
