Another old one, written with Bob Clay. I don’t remember the inspiration for this one. But I don’t write many love songs, so whatever it was it must have seemed important at the time.
There ain’t much to do
Around here these days
The dance hall closed down
When the kids moved away
But I can still dance with
The prettiest girl in town
If you’ll turn the radio on
Chorus:
It’s Saturday night
Let me dance you around
A two step for then
A slow waltz for now
We built a good life
With our sweat and tears
Our love is still strong
After forty long years
These days we can’t move
The way we used to
I’m happy just dancing with you
Chorus:
It’s Saturday night
Let me dance you around
A two step for then
A slow waltz for now
Bridge:
They say you can tell a lot about a man
By looking into the eyes of his wife
If that’s the truth then I’d have to say
That I did all right
We did all right
Chorus:
It’s Saturday night
Let me dance you around
A two step for then
A slow waltz for now
