LYRICS

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

My head goes round and round

When she's close to me

I can't stay on the ground

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

I never have a care

All night I'm so light

I walk right on the air, the air, the air

Oh let me, oh honey, let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

Whenever I feel those pretty arms

Reaching 'round about

That feeling goes to my toes

And all the lights go out, go out, go out

Whenever I see those eyes of blue

Smiling up so shy

I'm in such a spin

I take right off and fly

So let me, oh honey, let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

So let me dance in the arms I love

Thrill me through and through

I'm so drunk with love

That all I see is you, is you, is you

I never hear the music play

I never see the crowd

Only you and me

Dancing on a cloud, a cloud, a cloud

Oh let me, oh honey, let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you
