GONNA DANCE TONIGHT (song lyrics)

There were all the signs

That I needed to see

She was tappin' her toes

And sneakin' glances at me



Nearly fell on the floor

When I got my chance

But I got up the courage

And I asked her to dance



She was light on her feet

She nearly twirled away

But I reeled her on in

And I just had to say



Put your hand in mine

Better hold it real tight

Better kick off your shoes

We're gonna dance tonight



My heart skipped a beat

When she reached for my hand

Then we really took off

Keepin' up with the band



I thought I was spent

When I started to sway

But she reeled me on in

And she just had to say



Put your hand in mine

Better hold it real tight

Better buckle your belt

We're gonna dance tonight

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My first song lyrics.  Any musicians out there who want to put this to music for a 50/50 split of the royalties?
