Dancin' Boy

When your daddy plays guitar

You dance without a smile

Kid, you may not have great rhythm

But you sure got style

Just four years old and still it seems

You've got it figured out

When daddy sings and then you dance

The people clap and shout

'Cause you're my dancin' boy

And it's so scary how you trust me

Just one look from you

And I come pouring out like wine

Dancin' boy

I'm sure by now that you must see

You're dancin' means much more to me

Than any dream of mine

Yes, I'm so proud when you are with me

That my heart digs in my throat

And when you stop to strut your stuff

My eyes go all afloat

And when I have to leave you home

As sometimes it must be

I feel that with my leaving

I leave far too much of me

Yes, you're my dancin' boy

And it's scary how you trust me

Just one look from you

And I come pouring out like wine

You're my dancin' boy

I'm sure by now that you must see

You're dancin' means much more to me

Than any dream of mine

My dancing kid

You know the time will come, my dancin' boy

When you're dancin' days are done

And when daddy and his dancin' boy

Will have dwindled down to one

You know the world will have taught you other steps

To match the march of time

So you'll have to keep our dancin' days

Dancin' in your mind

Yes, do your dancin', boy

'Cause it's so scary how you trust me

Just one look from you

And I come pouring out like wine

Do your dancin', boy

I'm sure by now that you must see

You're dancin' means much more to me

Than any dream of mine

Dancin' boy
