You look out of your window,
|
Into the night.
|
Could be rain, could be snow,
|
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feeling inside.
|
|
And all of you friends are either married, vanished,
|
Or just left alone.
|
But that's no reason to just stop living.
|
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
|
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Don't forget to smile.
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Forget it for a while.
|
|
'Cause darling, darling,
|
I bet you danced a good one in your time.
|
And if this were a party
|
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine.
|
Yes, you with the broken heart.
|
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Don't forget to smile.
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Forget it for a while.
|
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Forget it for a while.
|
|
You walk down the street
|
And all the young punks whistle at you.
|
A nice bit of old,
|
Just goes to show what you can achieve
|
With the right attitude.
|
As you pass them by
|
They whisper their remarks one to another,
|
And you give them the eye
|
Even that you know that you could be their mother.
|
You do the thing you love the best.
|
What separates you from the rest,
|
And what you love to do the most?
|
And when they ask me how you dance,
|
I say that you dance real close.
|
|
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
|
Don't forget to dance.
