As recorded by FRANK SINATRA
with HARRY JAMES & His Orch., July 19th 1951:


I met her dancin' to the Castle Rock
I held her tight and danced around the clock
We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock

She kissed me and I kissed my heart goodbye
I felt like I was driftin' 'cross the sky
We rocked to heaven to the Castle Rock

Music was soft and low, settin' me all aglow
Holding her to my heart, how could I dream we'd part
Suddenly she was gone, leavin' me dreamin' on

Now every time they play the Castle Rock
I'll take myself a walk around the block
Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock

Go get em, Harry, for old time's sake
(Instrumental Break - Harry James trumpet solo)

I met her dancin' to the Castle Rock
I held her tight and danced around the clock
We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock

Now every time they play the Castle Rock
I'll take myself a walk around the block
Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock
Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock
