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
