Lyrics Shirley Horn

Shirley Horn

The Music That Makes Me Dance

I know you're around when the sky and the ground start in ringing

I know you're around by the thunder I hear in advance

Your words and your words alone are the words that start my heart singing

And yours is the only music that makes me dance

You'll sleep and you'll rise in the light of two eyes that adore you

Bore you it might, but you won't leave my sight or glance

In every way, every day, I need less of myself and need more you, more you

Yours is the only music that makes me dance

In every way, every day I need less of myself, and need more you, more you

Yours is the only music that makes me dance
