My Heart Was a Dancer

[Verse 1]

My heart was a dancer

No, you don't need to know her name

She could turn right on a nickel

And give you back four cents in change

My heart was a dancer

She made her livin' on her toes

And what she ever saw in me

Only God and Heaven knows

[Chorus]

I used to sit at my table

Just me and whiskey all alone

Watchin' my heart dance

And each night, I'd try to take her home

Others would try to show my heart

A better way to feel

My heart was a dancer

Oh, heart, please just don't bе still

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

My heart was a dancer

I'd love to see hеr dancin' now

Pretty and graceful

Still beatin' just for me somehow

My heart was a dancer

Another lifetime ago

She was real for me

But for the others, it was all just a show

[Chorus]

I used to sit at my table

Just me and whiskey all alone

Watchin' my heart dance

And each night, I'd try to take her home

Others would try to show my heart

A better way to feel

My heart was a dancer

Oh, heart, please don't be still

My heart was a dancer

Oh, heart, please don't be still
