DANCING YOUR MEMORY AWAY
(Eddie Burton / Thomas Grant)


Charly McClain - 1982



It's Friday night, you must be alone
That's the only time you'd ever phone
But if you drop by, don't be surprised
'Cause, darlin', I won't be there tonight

I'm dancin' your memory away in the arms of a stranger
For now I'm okay, my heart's out of danger
Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays
I'm gettin' by, one song at a time, dancing your memory away

Once, twice, tell me how many times
Was I a fool for your lyin' eyes
But I won't be your fool anymore
At least not while I'm out on the floor

Dancin' your memory away in the arms of a stranger
For now I'm okay, my heart's out of danger
Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays
I'm gettin' by, one song at a time, dancing your memory away

I'm dancin' your memory away in the arms of a stranger
For now I'm okay ............ FADE
