Oh they could really see me comin' I was a man of grace and pa**ion My blue silk shirt, her pleated skirt We were made for dancing Those summer nights away On the boats out in the bay No one could twirl her like I do No other girl ever knew me That Miami moon rose up so high Shining on you and the sea Over the girls and the cruise ship lights Over you and me I'd wear my shirt unbu*toned Just the first few, you know Makes a man feel like a man with that Little glint of gold She always pinned her hair up tight And I would spin it wild No one could touch us on the floor
Even the band called out for more That Miami moon rose up so high Shining on you and the sea Over the crowd as they dimmed the lights Over you and me And now my legs ain't working But they still hear the call On Friday nights, they got a guy Plays music down the hall He ain't as good as they used to be But he gets along just fine And if I had her here with me I would show ‘em how it's done Cause that Miami moon went down so fast Shining on you and the sea In the dancing room the band calls out One last tune for me
