Verse
My heart was a dancer
No you don’t need to know her name
She could turn it on a nickel
And give you back four cents in change
My heart was a dancer
She made her livin’ on her toes
And what she ever saw in me
Only God in heaven knows
Chorus
I used to sit at my table
Just me and whiskey all alone
Watchin’ my heart dance
And each night I’d try to take her home
Others would try to show my heart
A better way to feel
My heart was a dancer
Oh heart please don’t be still
Verse
My heart was a dancer
I’d love to see her dancin’ now
Pretty and graceful
Stupid and just for me somehow
My heart was a dancer
Another lifetime ago
She was real for me
Before the others it was all just a show
Chorus
I used to sit at my table
Just me and whiskey all alone
Watchin’ my heart dance
And each night I’d try to take her home
Others would try to show my heart
A better way to feel
My heart was a dancer
Oh heart please don’t be still
My heart was a dancer
Oh heart please don’t be still
