I LOVE TO DANCE WITH YOU


as recorded by Patti Page
1955


I love to dance with you,
Tell me you love it too.
When we are close like this,
Even our hearts can kiss.
How can my mind behave,
Holding you cheek to cheek?
I won't deny it,
My thoughts run riot,
Thinking what I can't speak!

I hold you close and see myself reflected in your eyes,
I feel inside as though I'm filled with fireflies.
My imagination tells me what your touch implies,
Should I even try to wonder why?

I love to dance with you,
Tell me you love it too.
When we are close like this,
Even our hearts can kiss.
I'll dance through life with you,
If you'll allow me to.
If you don't know why,
Please let me show why,
Thinking what I can't speak!

I hold you close and see myself reflected in your eyes,
I feel inside as though I'm filled with fireflies.
My imagination tells me what your touch implies,
Should I even try to wonder why?

I love to dance with you,
Tell me you love it too.
When we are close like this,
Even our hearts can kiss.
How can my mind behave,
Holding you cheek to cheek?
I won't deny it,
My thoughts run riot,
I love to dance with you,
I love to dance with you,
I love to dance with you, you!
