Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've just been introduced, I do not know you well
But when the music started something drew me to your side
So many men and girls are in each other's arms
It made me think we might be similarly occupied
[Verse 2]
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye?
Or per chance, when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On a clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?
[Verse 3]
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye?
Or per chance, when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On a clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
