You look out
of your window
Into the night
It could be rain
It could be snow
but it can't feel
as cold as what
you're feeling inside
And all of your friends
are either married
vanished
or just left alone
But that's no reason
To just stop living
That's no excuse
To just give in
to a sad
and lonely heart
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
forget it for a while
'Cause darling, darling
I bet you danced
a good one
in your time
And if this
were a party
I'd really make sure
The next one
would be mine
yes you with the
broken heart
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
forget it for a while
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
Don't forget to dance
You walk down
the street
And all the
young punks
whistle at you
A nice bit of old
Just goes to show
what you can achieve
with the right attitude
As you pass
them by
They whisper
their remarks
one to another
And you give
them the eye
Even though you know
that you could
be their mother
You do the thing
you love the best
What separates you
from the rest
And what you love
to do the most?
And when they ask me
how you dance
I'll say you dance
real close
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
forget it for a while
Don't forget to dance
no, no, no
forget it for a while
