Dance A Little Closer Lyrics

1983 Broadway
Dance a Little Closer the Musical - Dance A Little Closer Lyrics

The song is written by Charles Strouse and Alan Jay Lerner.

Dance a little closer,
Like it used to be.
I need someone warm inside my arms,
So please don’t whirl away from me.
Dance a little closer;
We don’t have to speak.
I just want to feel you near
And softly hear
You breathing on my cheek.

While the music’s playing,
Can’t we both pretend
This is not a song for just a moment
But a song without an end?
Dance a little closer,
Till the morning light,
I don’t want to feel alone tonight.

Dance a little closer,
Like it used to be.
I need someone warm inside my arms,
So please don’t whirl away from me.
Dance a little closer;
We don’t have to speak.
I just want to feel you near
And softly hear
You breathing on my cheek.

While the music’s playing,
Can’t we both pretend
This is not a song for just a moment
But a song without an end?
Dance a little closer,
Till the morning light,
I don’t want to feel alone tonight.

Another Life
Why Can’t the World Go and Leave Us Alone
Dance A Little Closer
There's Always One You Can't Forget
I Never Want to See You Again
