you look out of your window into the night could be rain could be snow but it can t feel as cold as you re feeling inside and all of you friends are either married vanished or just left alone but that s no reason to just stop living that s no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart don t forget to dance no no no don t forget to smile don t forget to dance no no no forget it for a while cause darling darling i bet you danced a good one in your time and if this were a party i d really make sure the next one would be mine yes you with the broken heart don t forget to dance no no no don t forget to smile don t forget to dance no no no forget it for a while don t forget to dance no no no forget it for a while you walk down the street and all the young punks whistle at you a nice bit of old just goes to show what you can achieve with the right attitude as you pass them by they whisper their remarks one to another and you give them the eye even though you know that you could be their mother you do the thing you love the most what separates you from the rest and what you love to do the most and when they ask me how you danced i ll say that you danced real close don t forget to dance no no no don t forget to dance
