Dance with Me
Drew Seeley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your worries fade with every step you take
Baby, Whatcha' waiting for
Let the tango take control
Feel the music inside your soul (Oh)
My hand is out, just grab a hold
Watch time fade away
It's just you and me
Dancing in this dream
Whatever you do, don't wake me up
The feelings real, won't let it
Stop, no
Don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Puedomos bailar eternamente
Now I have you next to me
Everything is how it should be
Baby, don't fight the feeling
We're floating on the clouds,
If I could I'd never come back down
Baby, Let's just keep on groovin'
As time fades away
MY arms will keep you safe
It's just you and me

If only for one night
Don't be afraid, take my hand
