Dancing With No Music Playing

(Billy Montana/Don Ellis)

Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your big sister's dress
I could hear my own heart beating, when you laid your head on my chest
No telling how long it was since the last song
With the band gone and the lights all faded
All alone on that gym floor, dancing with no music playing

Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your mama's white dress
Rice in your hair, your shoes in one hand, and one hand caressing my neck
The light from the moon filled that old hotel room
As my hands closed around your waist
And we were holding each other, dancing with no music playing

Ohhhh, there's nothing to say
Youuu take me away

Dancing with no music playing
Oh, dancing with no music playing

(instrumental)

Me in my old faded Levi's, you in your blue cotton dress
Time it don't have no effect on the way that you still steal my breath
As we spin once more across the cold kitchen floor
Your warm cheek touches my face
And I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Oh, I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing

Mmm
Dancing with no music playing
