Could have been a long hot summer night
When all the stars were shining bright
Against the blue
Could have been that famous decade scene
Top hats and tails, spinning 'round the room
And all I remember is not wanting the music to end
And all I remember is feeling a need that I could not hide
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes
And ever since that very night
I found me a guiding light,
Light the way
To turn off the music is to turn off the light in my soul
So just let it shine, mister
One more time for me and my babe
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Without the rhythm you got the blues
Don't take away those dancing shoes
Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes ...
