Dance the Blues with Me

Verse 1

You left your keys beside the door,

Said, "I can't take one thing more."

I put the kettle on for you,

You sat down without your shoes.

Then that record caught your ear,

One we hadn't played in years.

I held out my hand to you,

Said, "There's room here for us two."

Chorus

Dance the blues with me,

Come on, darling, move your feet.

Let that old song set us free,

Dance the blues with me.

We've been carrying this weight all week,

Lay your head right here on me.

Hold me close and let it be,

Dance the blues with me.

Verse 2

There's a bill beneath your cup,

And a sink still washing up.

Neither one is going away,

But they can wait another song today.

You missed a step, I missed one too,

First time all day I laughed with you.

You said, "We're rusty." I said, "True,

But I still know this dance with you."

Chorus

Dance the blues with me,

Come on, darling, move your feet.

Let that old song set us free,

Dance the blues with me.

We've been carrying this weight all week,

Lay your head right here on me.

Hold me close and let it be,

Dance the blues with me.

Bridge

You don't have to smile just yet,

I know it's been hard to forget.

If those tears come falling down,

We can keep on turning 'round.

We don't have to say a word,

Let the singer take this verse.

When the needle reaches the end,

We can play that side again.

Chorus

Dance the blues with me,

Come on, darling, move your feet.

Let that old song set us free,

Dance the blues with me.

We've been carrying this weight all week,

Lay your head right here on me.

Hold me close and let it be,

Dance the blues with me.

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

Dance the blues with me,

Barefoot to that worn-out beat.

There's nowhere else I need to be,

Dance the blues with me.

We've been carrying this weight all week,

Now you're singing soft and sweet.

Hold me close and let it be,

Dance the blues with me.

Outro

Dance the blues with me,

Dance the blues with me.

Just you and me,

Dance the blues with me,

Dance the blues with me.

Dance the blues with me,

Dance the blues with me.

Dance the blues with me,

Dance the blues with me.
