lyrics

Dance with me, my darlin'
Next time we dance, I can't say when
Dance with me, dance to see it through

'Cause I'm feelin' so in love with you
And I know it's just the gin
Makin' traces of the love that we once knew

Traces softly burnin' in your eyes
It's so hard to watch the traces
Of a good love die

Drink with me, my darlin'
You look so pretty in your pearls
Here's to being young, here's to lookin' fine

Now the night is fallin' slowly around us like your curls around me
Let this be the once last time
That we always remember

Dance with me, let me be
The man I tried to be
'Cause there ain't no man for you woman
Like the man inside me

Dance one last little dance with me tonight
Give me one last chance to see the light
In your eyes through tears of sorrow
You can cry those tears tomorrow, little darlin' of mine

Swing low, lady
Come let us pretend
You can just blame those black eyes on the rain

Come on and sing me a love-sick melody
To drown this sorrow in
Put a wind unto this candle, an end unto this pain

Dance with me, my darlin'
Twilight is fallin
So hold me one last time
Like way back when, when you were mine all mine
Don't you go
Please don't let me go

Dance one last little dance with me tonight
Give me one last chance to see the light
In your eyes through tears of sorrow
You can cry those tears tomorrow, little darlin' of mine
