Play Something We Can Dance To

'Cause what we had was so fine
Before we go let's go back
To where we met the first time
One last trip around the floor
And I'll hold you like I did before
Take my hand and I'll ask our friend in the band.
Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
And maybe while we're waltzing I can change your mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man
Can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight.
If you want
I'll drive you home just once more
Park the car then arm and arm
I'll walk you to your front door
I'll just let that motor run
Leave the windows down just for fun
'Cause you never know what we'll hear on the radio
They might.
Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
And maybe while we're waltzing I can change your mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man
Can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight.
Before she says goodbye...
