Lyrics
- Who is that beauty that’s right over there
Dancing with so much emotion
Wonderful eyes and such beautiful hair
Do you think that she’s all devotion?
Just look at that smile on her face
The truth is, it’s much out of place, for
Chorus
She’s only one of many
Who’s dancing her heart away
Each smile is a hidden teardrop
She’s acting like in a play
There’s many a dancer dancing
Though she may seem happy and gay
Her heart it has yearned for a love that was spurned
She’s dancing her heart away
- Melody seems to enchant her each night
Healing a heart that was broken
Dancing just seems to make everything right
Grief that has never been spoken
It’s often that you heard them say
“If you dance, the fid’ler you pay”, for
