Lyrics & music: Jim Robinson
 
 

1.
She was dressed all in lace, from her head to her toe -
Her hair in a braid, and the smell of a rose;
The way that she moved on that old hardwood floor;
When the band quit playing, we called out for more -

Chorus.
Dance with me, dance with me - you look so fine -
Swirl and twirl in 3/4 time.

2.
Then as I held her, I looked in her eyes -
Something inside said there's no time for lies;
With the band still playing in 3/4 time -
Before it had ended, I knew she was mine -

Chorus 2.
Dance with me, dance with me - you look so fine -
Whisper in my ear that you'll always be mine;
Won't you dance with me, dance with me - ain't it so fine?
Whirl and swirl in 3/4 time.

3.
She was dressed all in lace, from her head to her toe -
Hair up in braids and the smell of a rose;

Chorus 3.
Dance with me, dance with me - you look so fine -
Whirl and twirl in 3/4 time;
Won't you dance with me, dance with me -
Whisper in my ear that you'll always be mine;
Won't you dance with me, dance with me - ain't it devine?
Twirling and whirling in 3/4 time.
