Dancing The Night Away Lyrics - Leo Sayer

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 

Standing beside of the ocean 

Looking out across the bay 

I should look for companionship 

But it just gets in my way 

All the lights are flickering 

Out along the shore 

I see people dancing there 

But I just don't dance no more 

Oh, 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 

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 

Oh, let me see you dance 

Let me see you, let me see you dance, dance, dance
