Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace

but a tune for the dancing is there in its place

The dance floor's for gliding

not jumping over ponies
where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should
It's for celebrating a Friday night romance

forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by

It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing is there in its place


An arm's just an arm
'til it's wrapped 'round a shoulder

looped side by side
they go stepping out together
A note's just a note

'til you wake from your slumber
and dare to discover the new melody


Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace

but a tune for the dancing is there in its place
