Lyrics
See the lights
See the lights down low
Boys and girls
Boys and girls dancing slow
'cross the room I see where you standing
Heart beat - so fast when I see
Pretty girl, won't you dance with me
Pretty girl (pretty girl)
I want to dance with you
Pretty girl (pretty girl)
I want to dance with you.
In my dreams
In my dreams I'm holding you tight
May the music
May the music last all night
Will you whisper tenderly to me
Heart stops. Your smile melt it too
Pretty girl, I'm so in love with you
Pretty girl (pretty girl)
I want to dance with you
Pretty girl (pretty girl)
I am in love with you.
Let me hold you near me so tightly
One moment in time that only we share
Pretty girl over there
Let me hold you near me so tightly
One moment in time that only we share
Pretty girl over there
(pretty girl)
I want to dance with you
Pretty girl (pretty girl)
I am in love with you
Let me hold you near me so tightly
One moment in time that only we share (fade out).
