Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

Dancing the Night Away

Standing beside of the deep ocean

Looking out across the water

Everything is beautiful here

But I still don't feel like I oughta.

Things we wanted

Not so long ago

I got 'em all now, baby

But I ain't got you no more.

But I remember the way you held me

And all the sweet things you used to say

When we were two young lovers

Dancin' the night away.

I remember everything

Dresses you used to wear

You were so light and graceful

You seem to float right through the air.

Me, I looked so funny dancin'

But you loved me anyhow

Aw, I wish I could find somebody

That love me like that now.

But I remember the way you held me

And all the sweet things you used to say

When we were two young lovers

Dancin' the night away.

Ah ha.., woo

--- Instrumental ---

Standing beside of the deep ocean

Looking out across the bay

I should look for companionship

But it just gets in my way.

The lights are flickerin'

All along the shore

I see people dancin' there

But I just don't dance no more.

Because I remember the way you held me

And all the sweet things you used to say

When we were two young lovers

Dancin' the night away.

Hey, let's see you dance

Let me see you dance

Oh, baby, let me see you dance.

I want to see you dance

I want to see you dance one more time

Oh, babe, let me see you dance, dance, dance.

I want to see you dance

Let me see you dance

Oh, babe, let me see you dance

I want to see you dance

I want to see you dance

Oh, babe, let me see you dance

Just one more time

I want to see you dance the night away

I want to see you dance

Oh, babe, let me see you dance.

One more time

I gotta see you dance now

In that pretty red dress

I want to see you dance.

Oh, I wanna see you dance...
