Couldn't we keep on dancing?

from On with the Dance

 

Refain I       If we try, you and I,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
                   Man and wife, what a life!
                   Wouldn't it be entrancing?
                   Never mind if we find
                   People a bore,
                   Never blue,
                   Follow through
                   Every encore.
                   Couldn't we, couldn't we,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
 
Verse I        With our fingers interlacing,
                   We'll go rapturously pacing,
                   Hand in hand, dear,
                   Fairyland, dear.
                   Couldn't be more grand, dear,
                   I should welcome growing older
                   With your head upon my shoulder.
                   Lights are gleaming
                   While we're scheming,
                   What a lovely dream!
 
Verse 2        Absent-minded syncopation
                   So improves the circulation,
                   Law-abiding
                   Love is hiding
                   As we're gently gliding;
                   In my dreams I've contemplated
                   Being rhythmically mated.
                   Never leave me,
                   That would grieve me
                   Let us make believe!
 
Refrain 2      If we try, you and I,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
                   Man and wife, what a life!
                   Wouldn't it be entrancing?
                   Never mind if we find
                   People a bore,
                   Never blue,
                   Follow through
                   Every encore.
                   Couldn't we, couldn't we,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
 
Interlude      Drifting through the world to some sweet tune,
                   What a fascinating honeymoon!
                   Happiness acquiring,
                   Never tiring,
                   Don't let's wake too soon.
 
Refrain 3      If we try, you and I,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
                   Man and wife, what a life!
                   Wouldn't it be entrancing?
                   Never mind if we find
                   People a bore,
                   Never blue
                   Follow through
                   Every encore.
                   Couldn't we, couldn't we,
                   Couldn't we keep on dancing?
