Could have been a long hot summer night   When all the stars were shining bright   Against the blue   Could have been that famous decade scene   Top hats and tails, spinning 'round the room      And all I remember is not wanting the music to end   And all I remember is feeling a need that I could not hide   Don't take away those dancing shoes   Don't take away those dancing shoes   Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes      And ever since that very night   I found me a guiding light, light the way   To turn off the music is to turn off the light in my soul   So just let it shine mister   One more time for me and my babe   Don't take away those dancing shoes   Without the rhythm you got the blues   Don't take away those dancing shoes   Don't take away that boy's dancing shoes
