The band is softly playing
Night is in its glory
As we two are swaying
It reminds me of a story

A boy and a girl were dancing
The same as we're dancing tonight
A boy and a girl romancing
He kissed her and held her so tight

Right then and there they vowed to care
Their love affair was beautiful, wonderful
For they fell in love while dancing
I'm the boy, you're the girl, sweetheart

(Orchestral Interlude)

A boy and a girl were dancing
The same as we're dancing tonight
A boy and a girl romancing
He kissed her and held her so tight

Right then and there they vowed to care
Their love affair was beautiful, wonderful
For they fell in love while dancing
I'm the boy, you're the girl, sweetheart
