Dancing The Night Away Lyrics - Sayer Leo

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 

me I looked so funny dancing 

but you loved me anyhow 

now I wish I could find somebody 

to love me like that now 

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 

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 

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 

let me see you dance 

let me see you dance 

oh, babe, let me see you dance 

I can still see you dance 

I remember you dancing 

oh, babe, let me see you dance
