If I'd Only Learned To Dance

歌詞

The bar was pretty early and the storefronts, they were still lit up I took the time to sit with you awhile We talked about those Dixie Chicks and movies from the 'sixties We ordered some food, relish on the side I hung on every word that you said to me I laughed at every joke and ordered beer Didn't understand where you were coming from I really hoped you end up here [Interlude] You looked about, the clock above the powder room You tapped your feet in time to Johnny Saint A little mirror in your purse, you dropped it, I caught it You fixed your makeup and combed your hair One second you were sitting here and the next you were gone He spun you 'round the floor without a care I didn't exactly know where you were going to But I really hoped to join you there If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you If I'd only learned to dance, we'd be away If I'd only learned to dance, you would be lying in these arms tonight That'll have to be another day [Instrumental] I heard it, so the story goes We shine the shoes and wear the clothes Slick your hair back, fine The music slips into your soul Be it New Age waltzes, Rock 'n' Roll The body moves in time I tell myself each morning, "Well, I'll do that" I tell myself one million times a day If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you If I'd only learned to dance, you could be lying in these arms tonight If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you If I'd only learned to dance, we'd be away If I'd only learned to dance, you could be lying in these arms tonight
