Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair She made the Woolworth counter shine And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime And they'd sing "Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me, it's closing time And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime" Eddie played the steel guitar And his mama cried 'cause he played in the bars And he kept young Rita out late at night So, they married up in Abilene, lost a child in Tennessee And still that love survived And they'd sing "Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me, it's closing time And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime" One of the boys in Eddie's band took a shine to Rita's hands So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife Oh but he was back by June singin' a different tune And sportin' Miss Rita back by his side And they'd sing "Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me, it's closing time And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime" Eddie traveled with the barroom band, till arthritis took his hands Now he sells insurance on the side And Rita's got her house to keep She writes dime store novels and a love so sweet They dance to the radio late at night They still sing "Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me, it's closing time And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime" As Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair She really made the woolworth counter shine And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime © WING AND WHEEL MUSIC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
