dancing boy

when your daddy plays guitar

you dance without a smile. kid you may not have great rhythm

but you sure got style. just four years old and still it seems

you've got it figured out. when daddy sings

and then you dance

the people clap and shout. cuz

you're my dancin' boy

and it's so scary how you trust me. just one look from you

and i come pouring out like wine. dancin' boy

i'm sure by now that you must see

you're dancin' means much more to me

than any dream of mine. yes

i'm so proud when you are with me

that my heart digs in my throat. and when you stop to strut your stuff

my eyes go all afloat. and when i have to leave you home

as sometimes it must be. i feel that with my leaving

i leave far too much of me. yes

you're my dancin' boy

and it's scary how you trust me. just one look from you

and i come pouring out like wine. you're my dancin' boy

i'm sure by now that you must see

you're dancin' means much more to me

than any dream of mine. you know the time will come my dancin' boy

when you're dancin' days are done

and when daddy and his dancin' boy

will have dwindled down to one. you know the world will've taught you other steps

to match the march of time

so you'll have to keep our dancin' days

dancin' in your mind. yes

do your dancin'

boy

cuz it's so scary how you trust me. just one look from you

and i come pouring out like wine. do your dancin'

boy. i'm sure by now that you must see

you're dancin' means much more to me

than any dream of mine.
