Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You look out of your window into the night
Could be rain, could be snow
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feelin' inside
And all of your friends are either married, vanished or just left alone
But that's no reason to just stop livin'
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart
[Verse 2]
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Forget it for a while
[Verse 3]
'Cause darlin', darlin'
I bet you danced a good one in your time
And if this were a party
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine
Yes, you with the broken heart
[Verse 4]
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Forget it for a while
[Verse 5]
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Forget it for a while
[Verse 6]
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you
A nice bit of old, just goes to show
What you can achieve with the right attitude
As you pass them by, they whisper their remarks
One to another
And you give them the eye
Even though you know that you could be their mother
You do the thing you love the most
What separates you from the rest
And what you love to do the most
And when they ask me how you danced
I said that you danced real close
[Verse 7]
Don't forget to dance
No, no, no
Don't forget to dance
