As recorded by JOHNNY RIVERS
titled "Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancing)"


It's late at night and we're all alone
Just the music of the radio
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low ..... and we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
Shadows dancin' all across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
The rest of the world so far away and small ..... when we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Hold me, ooh-ooh-ohh, hold me 
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
You whisper to me, "Hold me tight"
You're the one I thought I'd never find ..... and now we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my, my, my, my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
