Song Lyrics

Standin' beside of the ocea-ean, lookin' out across the water
Everything is beautiful, but I still don't feel like I oughta
Things we wante-ed, not so long ago
I got 'em all now babe, but I ain't got you no more-ore

Still I remember
The way you held me and all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers dancin' the night away

I remember everythi-ing, the dresses you used to wear-ear
You were so light and graceful, you seemed to float right through the air-air
And me, I looked so funny dancing but you loved me anyhow
Now I wish I could find somebody to love me like that now

But I remember
The way you held me and all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers dancin' the night away

Standin' beside of the ocean, lookin' out across the bay
I should look for companionship but it just gets in my way-ay
All the lights are flickering, out along the shore
And I see people dancin' there but I just don't dance no more

Oh I remember
The way you held me and all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers dancin' the night away

Let me see you dance, let me see you da-a-ance
Ohhhh baby let me see you da-ance
I can still see you da-ance, I remember you dancin'
Ohhhh baby let me see you dance
Come on let me see you dance
Let me see you, let me see you, da-ance, da-ance, da-ance
