Squeeze - The Very First Dance lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) I had finally beat my nerve To watch her on the stage Removing all her clothes Revealing only age Some men stared with a stun Some sat in married guilt That night i chewed a brick For ideals i had built And there we were in each other's arms The very 1st dance that seemed to last For ever Our heads they almost touched Our feet beneath us moved Professional her dance And me the horses hoof The lights the beat the vision I'd conjured in my head Had magically appeared And disappeared again The music stopped we parted But only for a bar Off to the bahamas Back into her arms The excitement of a kiss Quenched my lovers thirst We walked into the cold night A night to remember
