Dance With Me
Petula Clark Lyrics

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
He uses his guitar to play a tune that touches me deeply and brings up emotional pain.

Singing my life with his words,
Through his lyrics, he is portraying my experiences and emotions in his own unique way.

Killing me softly with his song,
His melody and lyrics are so impactful that its making a deep impact on my emotions and sensibilities.

Telling my whole life with his words,
He knows me so well that his words somehow seem to reveal my life's story.

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
I heard wonders regarding this unknown singer who had a great style and was well respected.

And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
Intrigued by his talents, I decided to go see him in person and hear him sing.

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
I was surprised to see that this talented singer was so young and unknown to me.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
Feeling nervous and overwhelmed, I was embarrassed at how emotional his song made me in front of the large crowd.

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
His lyrics seemed so personal that I felt like he knew all of the letters that I had written.

I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
I was so overwhelmed by his performance and wanted it to end, but he continued singing with more passion and emotion.

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
His singing was so personal it's almost like he knows what I'm going through and is singing to make me feel better.

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
Even though I was in his presence, I felt like he was looking beyond me as if I wasn't even there - he was truly in his own world.

But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
Despite everything going on, he continued singing with such clarity and strength, further impacting me emotionally.
