Dancing With No Music Playing
(Billy Montana/Don Ellis)
Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your big sister抯 dress
I could hear my own heart beating, when you laid your head on my chest.
No telling how long it was since the last song
With the band gone and the lights all faded.
All alone on that gym floor, dancing with no music playing.
Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your mama抯 white dress
Rice in your hair, your shoes in one hand, and one hand caressing my neck.
The light from the moon filled that old hotel room
As my hands closed around your waist.
And we were holding each other, dancing with no music playing
Ohhhh, there抯 nothing to say
Youuu take me away
Dancing with no music playing
Oh, dancing with no music playing
(instrumental)
Me in my old faded Levi抯, you in your blue cotton dress
Time it don抰 have no effect on the way that you still steal my breath.
As we spin once more across the cold kitchen floor,
Your warm cheek touches my face,
And I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Oh, I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Mmm
Dancing with no music playing
We recommend: Dickens' Dublin
but our voices must be heard
Time has come
to hear the children of the world
And all that we are asking for
is air that we can breathe
and oceans safe to swim in
and the forest that still has trees
I truly believe
that the world could live as one
down with the walls
there's a new song to be sung
and all that we are asking for
is air that we can breathe
and oceans safe to swim in
and the forest still has trees
Chorus:
Won't you please save us the world
please save us the world
won't you please save
