Six and Eight

Mother told me
 Son you'd better dance
 While you've got the chance
 And half the talent
 But I would rather
 Sit and play with toys
 And hang out with the boys
 And start some trouble
 So she dragged me away
 All the while trying to say
 Son there'll be time for all that, you better start dancing
 Time after time we are standing in line and we're
 Making the most of each rhyme
 I'm happy to see that you're waltzing with me and we're
 Dancing in six and eight time
 Now I found a reason I should dance
 And there would be romance around the corner
 Ten years later we would be as one
 A different kind of fun but one that's lasting
 Work and mortgage and kids
 Wouldn't change it for quids
 Only wish there was more time, to go dancing
 Time after time we are standing in line and we're
 Making the most of each rhyme
 I'm happy to see that you're waltzing with me and we're
 Dancing in six and eight time
 Now we're older time is moving on
 Like a distant song you don't remember
 But I know one thing that will never fade
 The memories we made will last forever
 And my mother was right
 And to my delight
 Now I can pass on her words to the next generation
 Time after time we are standing in line and we're
 Making the most of each rhyme
 I'm happy to see that you're waltzing with me and we're
 Dancing in six and eight time
 Time after time we are standing in line and we're
 Making the most of each rhyme
 I'm happy to see that you're waltzing with me and we're
 Dancing in six and eight time
 Yes, we're dancing in six and eight time
 We're dancing in six and eight time
 We're dancing in six and eight time
 We're dancing in six and eight time
