Go on With Your Dancing
Jean Shepard · Songs of a Love Affair/Heartaches and Tears [EMI] [1999]
Go on with your dancing go on have your fun
You've hurt me the last time the demage is done
When I saw you kiss her my heart felt the same
So go on with your dancing and don't change a thing.
Where there's tinkle of blusters and sparkle of wine
You've met her out here now just one too many times
The kiss you were stealing you thought you could hide
But go on with your dancing and I'll step aside.
--- Instrumental ---
Go on with your dancing and laugh with the crowd
I lost you to bright lights and music so loud
I wish I could kiss you just one last goodbye
But go on with your dancing it's no time to cry.
Where there's tinkle of blusters and sparkle of wine
You've met her out here now just one too many times
The kiss you were stealing you thought you could hide
But go on with your dancing and I'll step aside...
