As they stepped on the dance floor the very first time,
Clumsy and awkward with hope in their mind
That he wouldn't trip up and he wouldn't fall down,
And she wouldn't catch a heel in the hem of her gown.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
They've been dancing awhile, now they're starting to flow,
Hand on her back lets her know where they go;
He gives her a spin now he's taking a chance,
But she turns and returns, they continue the dance.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
They've been dancing for years, they now move as one,
One leg slides out while the other moves on;
He moves and she turns so seamless and smooth,
Upon them they've gathered the eyes of the room.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
Now at the dance there's one, not two,
A lifetime together was spent in this room;
She closes her eyes just for a brief time,
As she watches the dancers flow by in a line.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
The children look up in the sky every eve,
Watching the shadows now shimmer and weave;
Although they can't see they know deep down inside,
The dancers now move as one in the sky.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
Swing me 'round just one more time,
When I close my eyes feel your hand in mine;
Never ending days slipped away,
Take my hand, dance me away.
Won't you take my hand, dance me away.
Please take my hand, lead me away.
