Will You Dance With Me?
Jeremy Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your touch is sweet it makes me weak
My head rests so softly on your shoulders
Oh, take your arms and hold me sweet
Let's take this dance
Will you dance with me?
Oh, love me in the colored lights
While my head rests on your shoulders
Take me away
We're dancing in the disco lights
While I'm melting in your arms tonight
Oh, love me in the colored lights
Your kisses sweet you hold me tight
Oh, love me in the colored lights
While I'm melting in your arms tonight
Will you dance with me?
Will you dance with me?
Will you dance with me?
In the song "Will You Dance With Me?" by Jeremy Jay, the singer is asking someone to dance with them. The lyrics are romantic and intimate, with language that describes a physical and emotional connection. The singer speaks of their weak knees and the way their head rests softly on the other person's shoulder. They ask to be held tightly, and they want to be taken away by the moment. The setting is a disco club with colored lights, which adds to the dreamy atmosphere.
The song has a vintage sound that blends elements of 60s pop and 80s new wave music. The lyrics speak to the universal human desire for connection and the feeling of being lost in the moment with someone else. The repetitive nature of the chorus drives home the longing for movement and connection. Ultimately, the song is a plea for someone to share a momentary escape with the singer.

I can't believe it and this never happens but i'm now tearing up
@Salamander676
I want to sing this song live.... his live performances deserve justice. People criticize his voice but I’m pretty sure he gets stage fright and has a bad sound guy
his voice sounds amazing when it’s recorded!!

MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ALBUM COVER
@observerofmadness4170
This song has a Jerry Rafferty feel to it, and that's ok. Everything is influenced by something that came before. As someone who loved "Baker Street", and "Right On Down The Line", I really enjoyed this song.
