Dancing With Tears In My Eyes

Jackie Gleason · Other Songs - Jackie Gleason

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 boy/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 boy/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 boy/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 boy/girl in my arms isn't you
