I don’t want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do,
I just want to dance with you.

I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine.
If we have a chance to make one heart of two,
I just want to dance with you.

Chorus:
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That’s what they invented dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.

I caught you lookin’ at me when I looked at you,
Yes I did, ain’t that true?
You won’t get embarrassed by the things I do,
I just want to dance with you.

Oh the boys are playin’ softly and the girls are too,
So am I and so are you.
If this was a movie, we’d be right on cue,
I just want to dance with you.

Repeat Chorus:

I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you.

True in this modern world when two lovers get together
Chances of ‘em ever makin’ it to forever
Couldn’t be better than two in a million hearts.
Girl this ain’t just another run of the mill emotion
What I’m feelin’ is the definition of devotion,
My love for you is true.

Chorus:
True, like the sun comin’ up each mornin’
Bright as the light in a baby’s smile,
Sure as a mountain river windin’,
Right as the rain fallin’ from the sky,
Girl my love for you, is true.

True, not another minute on this Earth can be borrowed,
So there’s no way to know when I’ll live my last tomorrow
But everyday I get, I’ll share with you.
This feelin’ just keeps gettin’ stronger as the time goes by
It’s written on my face, you can see it in my eyes,
My love for you is true.

Repeat Chorus:

Repeat Chorus:

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you need to lie.
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere,
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.

Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned.
The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd ever overcome.
This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last.
To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.

We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast.
Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
Well...

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you have to lie.
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere,
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.

This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last.
To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
Won't even think about a good-bye kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.

She sparkles, she dazzles, she lights up the room
We walk together to a table for two
Every man stares but her eyes are only for me
We take to the dance floor, she squeezes my hand
I can't believe just how lucky I am

Meanwhile back in the back of my memory
You're still dancing with me
And I'm holding you once again
...Meanwhile

We move to the end of a beautiful night
Tender the kisses, soft candle light
She draws the curtains, slowly we climb up the stairs
And reach for each other the passion begins
We fall together as lovers and then...

Meanwhile back in the back of my memory
You're still lying with me and I'm holding you once again

I try and I try, the Lord knows I do
But each time my heart beats back to you

Meanwhile I'll go on living my life now
I'll find a way somehow
Oh but meanwhile back in the back of my memory
You'll always be with me but I'll never hold you again
.... Meanwhile...

I never saw the end in sight; fools are kind of blind.
Thought everything was going alright, but I was running out of time.
'Cause you had one foot out the door, I swear I didn't see
But if you're really going away, here's some final words from me.

Chorus:
Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,
So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

I'll sign it at the bottom of the page, I'll swear under oath
'Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your 'frigerator door,
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you'll see it for sure.

Repeat Chorus:

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone.

Repeat Chorus:

Oh I love you and I don't want you to go, baby write this down.

You're like the warm sunshine, I think of you all the time,
I've fallen for you and that's a fact, what do you say to that.
You're always in my dreams, I think you know what they mean,
My heart knows this is real at last, what do you say to that.

Chorus:
Life could never be the same without you.
Love was never really love without you.
Here beside you is really where it's at, what do you say to that.

I promise I'll never leave, I'll always want you with me.
Loving you won't ever be old hat, what do you say to that.

Repeat Chorus:

You're like the warm sunshine, I think of you all the time,
I've fallen for you and that's a fact, what do you say to that.
My heart knows this is real at last, what do you say to that.

We loaded up my old station wagon
with a tent, a Coleman and sleepin' bags.
Some fishin' poles, a cooler of Cokes,
three days before we had to be back.

When you're seven you're in seventh heaven
when you're goin' campin' in the wild outdoors.
As we turned off on that old dirt road
he looked at me and swore...

Chorus:
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have.
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.
I'm the luckiest boy alive,
this is the best day of my life.

His fifteenth birthday rolled around,
classic cars were his thing.
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette
I thought that boy would go insane.

When you're in your teens
your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels.
We worked nights on end 'till it was new again,
and as he sat behind the wheel he said,

Chorus:
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we've had.
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.
I'm the luckiest boy alive
this is the best day of my life.

Standin' in a little room back of the church with our tuxes on,
Lookin' at him I say, I can't believe, son that you've grown.
He said,

Chorus:
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
I've been dreamin' day and night of bein' like you.
Now it's me and her,
watchin' you and mom I've learned,
I'm the luckiest man alive,
this is the best day of my life.

I'm the luckiest man alive,
this is the best day of my life.

I'm so sorry, I keep interrupting, what were you gonna say?
You caught him cheatin', I don't blame you for walkin' away.
I know where you're comin' from, it sounds like where I've been
Oh, there I go interrupting your story once again

Chorus:
Go on, go on, you were sayin' how a fool can only fool you so long
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else you can do but go on.

Our conversation won't change nothin', but it's sure nice to talk
With somebody who's been cut out of the same ol' cloth
You know how you said happiness can't be found lookin' back
If you don't mind, maybe we can talk a little more about that.

Chorus:
Go on, go on, you were sayin' this is better than sittin' at home
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on...

Bridge:
Even when you see no reason to
Don't wait to live life 'cause it won't wait for you

Chorus:
Go on, please go on, you were sayin' what don't kill us only makes us strong
It's true, that's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on.

Just go on.
Life goes on... and on.

Don't make me come over there and love you
I'd be beside you in a single bound
Don't make me come over there and love you
'Cause I will right now

I don't need any explanation
For why I crave all your honey talk
Don't make me come over there and love you
'Cause it's a short walk

You better tone down your persuasion
Start behaving before I go and fall apart

My heart's been on a long vacation
But now it's beating like a cha, cha, cha
Don't make me come over there and love you
'Cause I will right now

You better tone down your persuasion
Start behaving before I go and fall apart

Don't make me come over there and love you
Because it's looking like the perfect spot
Don't make me come over there and love you
And give all I got

Don't make me come over there and love you
'Cause I will right now
Yes, I will right now
Don't make me come over there and love you
