Lyrics
- Last night I went to a dance down the street
Where every night you and I used to meet
I haven’t danced since we drifted apart
I watched the crowd with this though in my heart
Chorus:
I wonder who’s dancing with you tonight
Sighing gently, sentiment’ly
I wonder who whispers and holds you tight
Who’s arms entwine what once was mine
I wonder who waits for the clock to strike
Home Sweet Home-time, lover’s own-time
I wish I could take that last waltz
For old time’s sake
I wonder who’d dancing with you tonight
- Last night I watched every pair dancing by
Though I was smiling, I wanted to cry
I had no partner to claim for my own
All night I thought as I sat there alone
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
