It was sweet and light and it ended too soon, but we laughed for a while Then we parted ways and we each go on with our life Now we chanced to meet so let' share a beer and the special smile From someone who knows me not as a mother or wife And let's laugh for a while And let's dance And let's hold hands under the table You can say I look grand and ask if I'm able To come home with you tonight Now I'm always surprised by the ravage of time and my vanity Only fools worship youth, and nobody can stop time Still you look at me that way and I regain my sanity And my ears are just aching for all of those corny old lines So let's laugh for a while And let's dance I'm gonna sit here awhile in the dark and the quiet and solitude I washed the smoke from my hair, and I'll rock the baby a while The moon's shining down on me, on the woman I am right now But I;ll think about tonight and I'll smile Cause we laughed for a while And we danced and we danced and we danced And let's hold hands under the table You can say I look grand and ask if I'm able To come home with you tonight To come home with you tonight To come home with you tonight
