The Dance
Lambert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been gone for so long

it feels so good just to get back home

back to all my friends and all the faces I like to see


and like a rainbow in the sky

a certain twinkle is in his eye

tellin me that they believe in who I am and who I want to be



don't it make you want to dance

and dont it make you want to smile

when you down and around

down in the country big and sing a while



and dont it make you awant to dance

and dont it make you want to smile

when your down and around

down in the country big and sing a while



oh lord don't it feel right tonight

makin music when the feelings right

feeling better with every little single song

i look around and everyone is a friend

and every single one is bound to grin

and when the chorus comes around everybody jump on



and dont it make you want to dance and dont it make you want to smile

when youre down and around

down in the country big and sing awhile



and dont it make you want to dance

and dont it make you want to smile

when your down and out

down in the country big and sing awhile



when youre down and around in the country





big and sing awhile
