Lyrics

When ma rim ba rhy thms start to play,

dance with me,

make me sway.

Like the la zy o cean hugs the shore,

hold me close,

sway me more.

Like a flow er bend ing in the breeze,

bend with me,

sway with ease.

When we dance you have a way with me,

stay with me,

sway with me.

Oth er danc ers may be on the floor,

dear, but my eyes will see on ly you.

On ly you have that mag ic tech nique;

when we sway I grow weak.

I can hear the sound of vi o lins,

long be fore

it be gins.

Make me thrill as on ly you know how,

sway me smooth,

sway me now.

Oth er danc ers may be on the floor,

dear, but my eyes will see on ly you.

On ly you have that mag ic tech nique;

when we sway I grow weak.

I can hear the sound of vi o lins,

long be fore

it be gins.

Make me thrill as on ly you know how,

sway me smooth,

sway me now.

Oth er danc ers may
