DANCE ME AWAY
Jim Feehan

 

F                   G

So swing me round

C             Am

Just one more time

G             F

When I close my eyes

C

Feel your hand in mine

F        G          C                  Am

Never ending days slipped away

G

Just take my hand

F             C

And dance me away

 

 

C

As they stepped on the dance floor

 

The very first time

F                  C

Clumsy and Akward

G      G7

With hope in their mind

C

That he wouldn’t trip up

F

And he wouldn’t fall down

C

And she wouldn’t catch a heel

G               C

In the hem of her gown

 

Chorus

 

They’ve been dancing awhile

Now their starting to flow

His hand on her back

Lets her know where they go

He spins her around

Now he’s taking a chance

But she turns and returns

They continue the dance

 

Chorus

 

They’ve been dancing for years

They now move as one

One leg slides out

While the other moves on

They now move along

So seamless and smooth

Upon them they’ve gathered

The eyes of the room

 

Chorus

 

Now at the dance

There’s one not two

A life time together

Was spent in this room

She closes her eyes

Just for a brief time

As she watches the dancers

Flow by in a line

 

Chorus

 

The children look up

In the sky every eve

Watching the shadows

Now shimmer and wieve

Although they can’t see

They know deep down inside

The dancers now move

As one in the sky
