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
