Sway
Pasadena Roof Orchestra & The Puppini Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the 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
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sound 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 that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sound 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
