On with the Dance the Musical - Couldn't we keep on dancing? Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
(Refrain:)
If we try, you and I,
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
Man and wife, what a life
Wouldn't it be entrancing?
Never mind if we find
People a bore,
Never blue,
Follow through
Every encore.
Couldn't we, couldn't we,
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
(Verse:)
With our fingers interlacing,
We'll go rapturously pacing,
Hand in hand, dear,
Fairyland, dear.
Couldn't be more grand, dear,
I should welcome growing older
With your head upon my shoulder.
Lights are gleaming
While we're scheming,
What a lovely dream
(Verse:)
Absent-minded syncopation
So improves the circulation,
Law-abiding Love is hiding
As we're gently gliding;
In my dreams
I've contemplated
Being rhythmically mated.
Never leave me,
That would grieve me,
Let us make believe!
(Refrain:)
If we try, you and I,
Couldn't we keep on dancing ?
Man and wife, what a life!
Wouldn't it be entrancing?
Never mind if we find
People a bore,
Never blue,
Follow through
Every encore.
Couldn't we, couldn't we,
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
(Interlude:)
Drifting through the world to some sweet tune,
What a fascinating honeymoon!
Happiness acquiring,
Never tiring,
Don't let's wake too soon.
(Refrain:)
If we try, you and I,
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
Man and wife, what a life!
Wouldn't it be entrancing?
Never mind if we find
People a bore,
Never blue,
Follow through
Every encore.
Couldn't we, couldn't we,
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
Review: On with the Dance the Musical Lyrics
On with the Dance the Musical Lyrics
Cosmopolitan lady
I'm so in love
Poor little rich girl
First love
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
Raspberry time in Runcorn
Spinsters' song
The vicarage dance
Choir boys' song
Even clergymen are naughty now and then
Church parade
Come a little closer
