When your daddy plays guitar
You dance without a smile
Kid, you may not have great rhythm
But you sure got styleJust four years old and still it seems
You've got it figured out
When daddy sings and then you dance
The people clap and shout'Cause you're my dancin' boy
And it's so scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wineDancin' boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancin' means much more to me
Than any dream of mineYes, I'm so proud when you are with me
That my heart digs in my throat
And when you stop to strut your stuff
My eyes go all afloatAnd when I have to leave you home
As sometimes it must be
I feel that with my leaving
I leave far too much of meYes, you're my dancin' boy
And it's scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wineYou're my dancin' boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancin' means much more to me
Than any dream of mine
My dancing kidYou know the time will come, my dancin' boy
When you're dancin' days are done
And when daddy and his dancin' boy
Will have dwindled down to oneYou know the world will have taught you other steps
To match the march of time
So you'll have to keep our dancin' days
Dancin' in your mindYes, do your dancin', boy
'Cause it's so scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wineDo your dancin', boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancin' means much more to me
Than any dream of mineDancin' boy
