THE CHRISTMAS DANCE
(Richard Starkey / Mark Hudson / Jim Cox / Steve Dudas)

Ringo Starr - 1999


Tonight's the Christmas dance in London town
The lights are up, the snow is falling down
Like ev'ry year, I catch your eye across the floor
But too afraid to do much more

At the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
Yeh, the Christmas dance,
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance

I combed my hair and straightened out my tie
This year I'm gonna ask you do or die
And I'll need ev'ry ounce of courage I can find
Feet don't fail me, love be kind

At the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
The Christmas dance
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance

No more searching, love at last (No more searching, love at last)
No more ghosts of Christmas past (No more ghosts of Christmas past)
Under the mistletoe we kissed and danced so slow, Ho!

And when our children ask of the meaning of romance

At the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
At the Christmas dance
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance

(Oh, the Christmas dance)
(Yeah, the Christmas dance)
(Oh, the Christmas dance)
(Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah)

Merry Christmas
(Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah)
Merry Christmas, Yeah,
Merry Christmas, Yes! Yeah! Yeah!

At the Christmas dance
