My heart was a dancer No, you don't need to know her name She could turn right on a nickel And give you back four cents and change My heart was a dancer She made her living on her toes Now, what she ever saw in me Only God and Heaven knows I used to sit at my table Just me and a whiskey all alone Watchin' my heart dance And each night I'd try to take her home Others would try to show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still ♪ My heart was a dancer I'd love to see her dancin' now Pretty and graceful Still beating just for me somehow My heart was a dancer Another lifetime ago She was real for me But for the others, it was all just a show I used to sit at my table Just me and a whiskey all alone Watchin' my heart dance And each night I'd try to take her home Others would try and show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still
