The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Those who dance and romance while they dance
They seem so happy and gay
Tho’ they sing while they swing and they sway
Somehow I can’t feel that way
Refrain
For I’m dancing with tears in my eyes
‘Cause the girl in my arms isn’t you
Dancing with somebody new
When it’s you that my heart’s calling to
Trying to smile once in a while
But I found that so hard to do
For I’m dancing with tears in my eyes
‘Cause the girl in my arms isn’t you
- While the throng’s in the spell of a song
My thoughts keep drifting to you
While each pair seems to share their affair
They’re only making me blue
