Story Behind The Song

Infatuation or LOVE at first meet-up, at least one party has been totally "smitten" by the other and is enthralled by the other. Just the chance to dance and hold him tight in a dreamy romantic atmosphere is blissful reward.

Song Description

Lennon and McCartney-such masterful songwriters! This one is a cheerful celebration of love's magical enchantment! So very many of us remember the Beatles initial offering of this tune and again Anne Murray's rendition in the 1980s. The version we offer you here was a wonderful opportunity for Kris and I to have a little extra fun in our duet piece that includes a bit of ad-lib whimsy near the end; a blissful reward. Hope you enjoy the listening as much as we enjoyed performing it in the studio.

Lyrics

I'M SO HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU
Lennon/McCartney

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
