The sheet music:
Lyrics
Now I’d never dream of making love
With so many people near
No, I’d never dream of making love
But love is here
Refrain:
Isn’t this sublime? We’re dancing on a dime
The crowded floor is perfect
For a nice romantic time
Oh! how can I help but hold you tight
Here in a warm embrace?
There isn’t an inch of space
For being discreet so I repeat
Isn’t this sublime
This dancing on a dime?
We’re hand in glove
The picture of a romance in its prime
No darling I guess I’d better confess
For I knew it all the time
That I’d be close to you
Dancing on a dime
