Dance…‘Til The Moon’s Erased Your Memory

by William 'Doc' Haggerty

 

I know that he’s left you and you’re feeling down.

And it seems like the world’s no longer turning around.

But you and I both know that time it can heal

Even a great loss, like the way you now feel.

 

So light up and replace that self serving frown.

Come’on out with me and we’ll paint the town.

We’ll go out and boogie, two-step and line

And we’ll treat other dancers especially fine.

 

What’s that you say, it’s all been too long?

Without that guy with you, it’ll all turn out wrong?

C’mon now girl, that’s not the woman I knew.

You used to be upbeat, a real who know’s who.

 

Just leave your troubles, and let those thoughts be

And we’ll dance ‘til the moon’s erased your memory.

.... We’ll dance ‘til the moon’s erased your memory.

 

You know how we always would do it before.

We’d spin like a top and float ‘cross the floor.

With turns to the right and turns to the left

We’d move to the tempo and soar with each step.

 

Don’t let him get to you, keep it intact.

We must distract you, bring your self back.

Reach deep inside to the source of all strength.

The one learned ‘bout long ago. The one they call faith.

 

Then we’ll return to the top of the town.

Right at the center of what’s going down.

So now let’s start moving, time’s passing us by

The bands’re out there waiting, get ready to fly!
