My Heart Was A Dancer

My heart was a dancer
No, you don't need to know her name
She could turn right on a nickel
And give you back four cents and change

My heart was a dancer
She made her living on her toes
Now, what she ever saw in me
Only God and Heaven knows

I used to sit at my table
Just me and a 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
I'd love to see her dancin' now
Pretty and graceful
Still beating just for me somehow

My heart was a dancer
Another lifetime ago
She was real for me
But for the others, it was all just a show

I used to sit at my table
Just me and a whiskey all alone
Watchin' my heart dance
And each night I'd try to take her home
Others would try and 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
