Dance Tonight
Duke Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance tonight
Love is right
Dance tonight
Love, Oo Oo Oo

Anytime I think about my life
I can't find the key
Of what I wanna be

Anytime I wake up in the night
The thing was not forever
There to be together

There's no way to say goodbye (I can't say goodbye)
Love me, stay until you die

So dance, tonight will be alright (to fly)
Love, tonight will be so fine (so right)
So dance, tonight will be alright (to fly, Oo oo oo)

Love o love the music in my life
It's the real care of what I wanna do
No more wake up in the night
Maybe it's not forever
But to be together

There's no way to say goodbye (I can't say goodbye)
Love me, stay until you die

So dance, tonight will be alright (to fly)
Love, tonight will be so fine (Oo oo oo)
So dance, tonight will be alright (to fly)
Love, tonight will be so fine (to fly, Oo oo oo)

Duke Lake's songs are consistently excellent and this is no exception ... listening to this brings me back to relaxing nighttime drives in Orlando, Florida, when I'd be playing this song ... so much nostalgia ...

Bendita sea la internet que le permite a uno descubrir joyas como esta canción , siempre he sido un fanático de la música de los 80 pero canciones como esta no las pasan nunca en la radio , en Youtube he descubierto montón de temas espectaculares. Les recomiendo algunos temas : Holding on to love de Time , Dont cry tonight de Savage y Welcome to Rimini de Ric Fellini.
