The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing

From Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas”, 1953.
Words and music by Irving Berlin.


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

The best things happen while you’re dancing
Things that you would not do at home
Come natur’lly on the floor
For dancing soon becomes romancing
When you hold a girl in your arms
That you’ve never held before
Even guys with two left feet
Come out alright if the girl is sweet
If by chance their cheeks
Should meet while dancing
Proving that the best things
Happen while you dance
