Dance By the Rio Grande

"Don't say a word," I heard you whisper
As she took my hand in hers and led me away
The eyes of the night stare down upon us
As the moonlight found us a place where the music could play

Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot in the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande

I've never known the places she spoke of
The sound of her voice in each word was all that I need
And I couldn't help myself from wanting
All that she was, she was the music to me

Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot in the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande

The music was gone and the moonlight was fading
The morning was near and the skies burnt in the sun
"Show me again," I heard her calling
She said, "Show me again and we'll dance by the Rio Grande"

Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot in the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande
Yeah let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande
