Shall We Dance? Lyrics - Gertrude Lawrence

[Gertrude:] 

We've just been introduced, 

I do not know you well, 

But when the music started 

Something drew me to your side. 

So many men and girls, 

Are in each others arms. 

It made me think we might be 

Similarly occupied. 

Shall we dance? 

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? 

Shall we dance? 

Shall we then say, "Goodnight" and mean, "Goodbye"? 

Or perchance, 

When the last little star has left the sky, 

Shall we still be together 

With our arms about each other? 

And shall you be my new romance? 

On the clear understanding 

That this kind of thing can happen, 

Shall we dance? 

Shall we dance? 

Shall we Dance? 

Shall we dance? 

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? 

Shall we dance? 

Shall we then say, "Goodnight" and mean "Goodbye"?
