Could have been a long hot summer night

When all the stars were shining bright

Against the blue

Could have been that famous decade scene

Top hats and tails, spinning 'round the room



And all i remember is not wanting the music to end

And all i remember is feeling a need that i could not hide

Don't take away those dancing shoes

Don't take away those dancing shoes

Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes



And ever since that very night

I found me a guiding light, light the way

To turn off the music is to turn off the light in my soul

So just let it shine mister

One more time for me and my babe

Don't take away those dancing shoes

Without the rhythm you got the blues

Don't take away those dancing shoes

Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes
