Sway
Cincotti Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I grow weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I grow weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Sway me now

When marimba rhythms start to play
As soon as the beat of the marimba is heard
Dance with me, make me sway
Come and dance so that I may be swayed by your rhythms
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Like the waves nonchalantly embrace the sand
Hold me close, sway me more
Embrace me tighter and make me sway even more

Bending with the wind, like how a flower does
Bend with me, sway with ease
Move along with me gracefully, without any trouble
When we dance, you have a way with me
When we dance, you move so smoothly and effortlessly, that I am enchanted
Stay with me, sway with me
Remain by my side and sway with me while we dance

Although other people may be present on the dance floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
My focus will always be solely on you

The sound of violins can be heard

Even before the music begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Amaze me in the way that only you are capable of doing
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Continue to sway me gracefully and effortlessly now
Sway me now
