| Don’t be sad |
| 'Cause what we had was so fine |
| Before we go let’s go back |
| To where we met the first time |
| One last trip around the floor |
| And I’ll hold you like I did before |
| Take my hand and I’ll ask our friend in the band |
| Play something we can dance to |
| Play something nice and slow |
| And maybe while we’re waltzing I can change your mind |
| While the lights are low |
| Hey mister steel guitar man |
| Can you make her cry |
| Play something we can dance to |
| Before we say goodnight |
| If you want |
| I’ll drive you home just once more |
| Park the car then arm and arm |
| I’ll walk you to your front door |
| I’ll just let that motor run |
| Leave the windows down just for fun |
| 'Cause you never know what we’ll hear on the radio |
| They might |
| Play something we can dance to |
| Play something nice and slow |
| And maybe while we’re waltzing I can change your mind |
| While the lights are low |
| Hey mister steel guitar man |
| Can you make her cry |
| Play something we can dance to |
| Before we say goodnight |
| Before she says goodbye… |
