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 that 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 dance,
   I say that you dance real close.
  
   Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
   Don't forget to dance.
