Lyrics
- The waltz begun, the dancers start
Let everyone dance on, Sweetheart
This night with the bright moon above
Was meant for just one thing, Love
Chorus:
Why dance?
Let us stroll through the garden
Where no one is near
Why dance?
When my lips long to whisper
Wweet words in your ear
We can kiss ‘neath a bright starry awning
Till they play “Three o’clock in the morning”
Why dance, when two hearts are afire
Why dance, when romance is here?
- Forget the dance, forget the tune
Let’s find romance beneath the moon
My love could not be more sincere
Let’s wander out yonder, Dear
