Dance with Me
Laurie Webb Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No I'll not soon forget
The way you came in
Unannounced
As though you read my mind
As if
I'd said it to you
Right out loud

Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be (near my energy)
Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be

You said it all with a smile
The way you offered your hand
We could have been talking Kierkegaard
Galileo's daughter, man on mars
But i never even heard a word

Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be (near my energy)
Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be

Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be (near my energy)

Won't you dance with me? (the night will melt away)
Close as you want to be
