Barry Manilow / Bruce Sussman / Jack Feldman  1979

as rec by Vera Lynn  1981

also rec by Barry Manilow  '79


Why don't we try a slow dance?
It's all going by us too fast!
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance
And maybe this moment will last!

All night long we've been dancing,
Dancing too far away!
All night long I've been waiting for them
To play a slow one!

Why don't we try a slow dance
Before it all comes to a close?
We'll see how it feels
And see where the feeling goes!
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance,
And then, who knows?

All night long we've been dancing,
Dancing too far away!
All night long I've been waiting for them
To play a slow one!

Why don't we try a slow dance
Before it all comes to a close?
We'll see how it feels
And see where the feeling goes!
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance,
And then, who knows?
All night long I've been waiting for a slow dance,
And then, who knows?
