My heart was a dancer No, you don´t need to know her name She could turn right on a nickel And give you back four cents in change My heart was a dancer
She made her livin´ on her toes And what she ever saw in me Only God and Heaven knows
I used to sit at my table Just me and whiskey all alone Watchin´ my heart dance And each night, I´d try to take her home Others would try to show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please just don´t be still
My heart was a dancer I´d love to see her dancin´ now Pretty and graceful Still beatin´ just for me somehow My heart was a dancer
Another lifetime ago She was real for me But for the others, it was all just a show
I used to sit at my table Just me and whiskey all alone Watchin´ my heart dance And each night, I´d try to take her home Others would try to show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don´t be still My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don´t be still
