(Russell Smith/James Brown)
|
Standing beside of the ocean
|
Looking out across the water
|
Everything is beautiful
|
But I still don't feel like I oughta
|
Things we wanted, not so long ago
|
I got 'em all now, babe
|
But I ain't got you no more
|
Still I remember
|
The way you held me
|
And all the sweet things you used to say
|
When we were two young lovers
|
Dancing 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
|
And me I looked so funny dancing
|
But you loved me anyhow
|
Now I wish I could find somebody
|
To 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
|
Dancing the night away
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Standing beside of the ocean
|
Looking out across the bay
|
I should look for companionship
|
But it just gets in my way
|
Yeah, all the lights are flickering
|
Out along the shore
|
Well, I see people dancing there
|
But I just don't dance no more
|
Still I remember
|
They way you held me
|
And all the sweet things you used to say
|
When were two young lovers
|
Dancing the night away
|
Let me see you dance
|
Let me see you dance
|
Oh, baby, let me see you dance
|
I can still see you dance
|
I remember you dancing
|
Oh, baby, let me see you dance
|
C'mon, let me see you dance
|
