I’ve been watching a girl in the corner, long brown hair tied in a band
Eyes as green as deepest oceans, oceans that could drown a man
But if I let this moment pass me it would be forever gone
Should I take a chance to ask her, won’t you dance with me this song?

I’ve been watching a girl in the corner and she acts like she doesn’t know
Lets her hair down to her shoulder, rocks her body to and fro
Taps her feet as the boy’s surround her, to not one she does belong
Smiles at me as I go to her, won’t you dance with me this song?

Dance with me … dance with me … dance with me … dance with me

All around the crowd receded as we moved in perfect time
It was then I knew that I had never held a girl so fine
I could not contain my ferment, fondness for her I proclaimed
There I lost her kind attention, there I felt her interest wane

Dance with me … dance with me … dance with me … dance with me

She excused herself politely, business that she must attend
Drifted to the farthest corner and there she found another friend
And in his arms she laughs so gaily and though I know she has moved on
I can’t help but want to ask her; won’t you dance with me this song?

Dance with me … dance with me … dance with me … dance with me

I’ve been watching a girl in the corner, long brown hair tied in a band
Eyes as green as deepest oceans, oceans that could drown a man
But if I let this moment pass me it would be forever gone
Should I take a chance to ask her, won’t you dance with me this song?

Dance with me … dance with me … dance with me … dance with me
