C
Standing beside the ocean looking across the water
Everything is beautiful here but I still don't feel like I oughta
G7
Things we wanted not so long ago
C
I got 'em all now but I ain't got you no more
F
But I remember the way you held me
C
And all the sweet things you used to say
G7 C
When we were two young lovers dancing the night away
Well I remember everything the way you wore your hair
Things everybody told me you seem to float right through the air
G7
I looked so funny dancing but you loved me anyhow
C
I wish I could find somebody would love me like that now
repeat #2
Standing beside of the ocean throwing rocks out in the bay
I should look for companionship but it just gets in my way
G7
Lights are flickering all along the shore
C
Hey people dancing there but I just don't dance no more
repeat #2
F Dm
Let me see you dance let me see you dance
G7 C
Oh baby let me see you dance
F Dm
Let me see you dance let me see you dance
G7 C
Oh baby let me see you dance
