Nothing Matters When We're Dancing Lyrics
Dance with me my old friend
Once before we go
Let's pretend this song won't end
And we never have to go home
And we'll dance among the chandeliers
And nothing matters when we're dancing
In tat or tatters you're entrancing
Be we in Paris or in Lansing
Nothing matters when we're dancing
You've never been more beautiful
Your eyes like two full moons
As here in this poor old dancehall
Among the dreadful tunes
The awful songs we don't even hear...
And nothing matters when we're dancing
In tat or tatters you're entrancing
Be we in Paris or in Lansing
Nothing matters when we're dancing
Once before we go
Let's pretend this song won't end
And we never have to go home
And we'll dance among the chandeliers
In tat or tatters you're entrancing
Be we in Paris or in Lansing
Nothing matters when we're dancing
Your eyes like two full moons
As here in this poor old dancehall
Among the dreadful tunes
The awful songs we don't even hear...
In tat or tatters you're entrancing
Be we in Paris or in Lansing
Nothing matters when we're dancing

I always sing this when I'm dancing in Lansing. no joke. I love it.
this song is what I picture me and my husband dancing to on our 50th wedding anniversary. it's that sweet. it's that much love.
Wow. This message is about all 69 Love songs: It is amazing. How can anybody write 69 songs about love, and all of them sound completely sincere, not corny like most love songs!?!!!? I can't get over it. It definitely takes true talent.
oh yeah.. this song is so simple with the guitar/ukelele.. I especially like "the awful songs we don't even hear..." to be dancing with someone, you're so in love with, you dont even hear the music.
Perfect love song.
Aw! :)
It is 'your eyes like two full moons AS here in this poor old dancehall'.
This song is full of love and yet it is not cheesy. I agree with you Sta, the 69 love songs are so genuine.
Probably my favorite song off the album so far... such a sweet innocent song. I picture two people meeting up again long after they broke up, but they got along well after the break up. Eventually they part ways, but meet up again, perhaps at a high school reunion.
This song literally makes me ache. One of the purest songs ever written
You guys are all caught up in how "pure/genuine" it sounds, I feel this is pretty evidently about sex
Dancing is more about their souls ya digg
