When your daddy plays guitar   You dance without a smile   Kid, you may not have great rhythm   But you sure got style      Just four years old and still it seems   You've got it figured out   When daddy sings and then you dance   The people clap and shout      'Cause you're my dancin' boy   And it's so scary how you trust me   Just one look from you   And I come pouring out like wine      Dancin' boy   I'm sure by now that you must see   You're dancin' means much more to me   Than any dream of mine      Yes, I'm so proud when you are with me   That my heart digs in my throat   And when you stop to strut your stuff   My eyes go all afloat      And when I have to leave you home   As sometimes it must be   I feel that with my leaving   I leave far too much of me      Yes, you're my dancin' boy   And it's scary how you trust me   Just one look from you   And I come pouring out like wine      You're my dancin' boy   I'm sure by now that you must see   You're dancin' means much more to me   Than any dream of mine   My dancing kid      You know the time will come, my dancin' boy   When you're dancin' days are done   And when daddy and his dancin' boy   Will have dwindled down to one      You know the world will have taught you other steps   To match the march of time   So you'll have to keep our dancin' days   Dancin' in your mind      Yes, do your dancin', boy   'Cause it's so scary how you trust me   Just one look from you   And I come pouring out like wine      Do your dancin', boy   I'm sure by now that you must see   You're dancin' means much more to me   Than any dream of mine      Dancin' boy
