Have you seen my dancing shoes?
I wish I could dance the night away
I could wear a shirt and tie
And show them young kids how to sway
So, now you're leaving, right this moment

What if I never met you?
Never loved you, never kissed you, never hurt you, like I did?

You step out of your car
Left your key by the door
I watched you as you held a cab and here's where I fail;
I go out to the place
Where each soul meets your face
I step into the light and then I dance 'til I cry

Did you see the show tonight?
Was it strange to see me smile?
Yeah, I know just what you mean
We were hurting all the while
So tell me how long will I wake up cold with the pillow in my arms?
I think it's sad
And how come I still miss you when the place is full of people?
Pretty faces I could have

I see you by the bar with the guy from your job
I try hard not to care but fail miserably when
They start playing that song that you always put on
I step into the light and then I dance 'til I cry

Catch your eye, you smile
And then I see you leave with someone else
I die

You step out of your car
Left your key by the door
I watched you as you held a cab and here's where I fail;
I go out to the place
Where each soul meets your face
I step into the light and then I dance 'til I cry

I see you by the bar with the guy from your job
I try hard not to care but fail miserably when
They start playing that song that you always put on
I step into the light and then I dance 'til I cry
