Those who dance and romance while they dance

They seem so happy and gay

Though they sing and they swing as they sway

Somehow I can't feel that way



For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you

Dancing with somebody new

When it's you that my heart's calling to



Trying to smile once in a while

But I find it so hard to do

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you



While the throng's in the spell of a song

My thoughts keep drifting to you

While each pair seems to share their affair

They're making me blue



For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you

Dancing with somebody new

When it's you that my heart's calling to



Trying to smile once in a while

But I find it so hard to do

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you
