My Heart Was A Dancer

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
