Six and Eight Lyrics

Mother told me

Son you'd better dance

While you’ve got the chance

And half the talent

But I would rather

Sit and play with toys

And hang out with the boys

And start some trouble

So she dragged me away

All the while trying to say

Son there’ll be time for all that, you better start dancing

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re

Making the most of each rhyme

I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re

Dancing in six and eight time

Now I found a reason I should dance

And there would be romance around the corner

Ten years later we would be as one

A different kind of fun but one that’s lasting

Work and mortgage and kids

Wouldn’t change it for quids

Only wish there was more time, to go dancing

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re

Making the most of each rhyme

I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re

Dancing in six and eight time

Now we’re older time is moving on

Like a distant song you don’t remember

But I know one thing that will never fade

The memories we made will last forever

And my mother was right

And to my delight

Now I can pass on her words to the next generation

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re

Making the most of each rhyme

I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re

Dancing in six and eight time

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re

Making the most of each rhyme

I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re

Dancing in six and eight time

Yes, we’re dancing in six and eight time

We’re dancing in six and eight time

We’re dancing in six and eight time

We’re dancing in six and eight time
