Lyrics
[verse]
There used to be a hall down at the end of our street
Where all the neighbors gathered up to move their feet
My sister wore her best dress, borrowed shoes too tight
Chasing after boys beneath the ballroom light
[verse]
Now the building's empty, windows boarded grey
Another piece of yesterday just faded away
But if I close my eyes I still can hear the band
Playing out a melody I still understand
[chorus]
Come dancing, all the lights are turning gold
Come dancing, like the stories that we told
Come dancing, though the old hall's gone
The music that we loved still carries on
[verse]
They built a supermarket where we used to sway
Nobody remembers the names we used to say
But somewhere in the rafters of a memory so bright
My sister's still out dancing under borrowed light
[chorus]
Come dancing, all the lights are turning gold
Come dancing, like the stories that we told
Come dancing, though the old hall's gone
The music that we loved still carries on
[bridge]
Time moves forward, tearing down the past
But some things linger long enough to last
I'll hum the tune that no one else recalls
And dance again inside those vanished walls
[chorus]
Come dancing, all the lights are turning gold
Come dancing, like the stories that we told
Come dancing, though the old hall's gone
The music that we loved still carries on
