Dance On

Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark

Don't talk of love right now, dance on

Although the lights are low, forget it

Wait until we're alone, wait until we go home

Come on please, I don't tease

Just dance on

Don't try and kiss me now, dance on

You might be feeling quite romantic

But I'll dance cheek to cheek

Or we'll miss every beat

Just dance on

Give me the sweet talk when we're leaving

From midnight on it's worth believing

You know the night has just begun

And while the music keeps on playing

Hold me close, hold me near

And I promise you'll hear

How the beat of my heart will dance on
