Sway
Martin Dean & Julie London / Rip-off Artist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When Marimba Rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now




You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Overall Meaning

The song "Sway" by Martin Dean and Julie London is a romantic ballad about the power of dancing and being in love. The lyrics speak to the idea that when music plays and you dance with someone you love, everything else in the world fades away and all that matters is the two of you swaying together in perfect harmony.


The first verse describes the way the marimba rhythms make the singer want to dance and sway with their partner as if they are being hugged by the lazy, comforting waves of the ocean. The second verse compares the couple's dance to a flower bending in the breeze, suggesting that they move together with ease and grace. The chorus repeats the idea that even though there may be other dancers on the floor, the singer's attention is only on their partner, and the magic of their connection makes the singer go weak in the knees. The final verse speaks to the power of the music itself, with the sounds of the violins sparking a thrill in the singer that only their partner can create, and ending with a repeat of the plea to sway smoothly and now.


Overall, "Sway" is a beautifully romantic song that captures the magic of dancing with the person you love. The lyrics are simple yet effective, creating a sense of movement and connection that draws the listener in and makes them want to dance along.
