And a
one step and he’s sliding
And a two steps and she’s gliding
Three and a one and a two
And then they float in the air
Side to side and she shows him
Back and forth cause she knows him
Round and round again
All who see them can’t help but stare
Cause everyone knows they’re in love
Everyone knows they’re in love
Yes and everyone knows they’re in love
By the way they dance
Cheek to cheek cause he needs her
Hand in hand as he leads her
Face to face cause they know
They’ll never dance alone
Cause everyone knows they’re in love
Everyone knows they’re in love
Yes and everyone knows they’re in love
By the way they dance
By the way she moves in surrender
Ever so sweetly
She wins him completely
By the way he holds her so gracefully
The hand that he lends her
Is able and tender
Never a step to chance
Cause everyone knows they’re in love
Cause everyone knows they’re in love
Everyone knows they’re in love
Yes and everyone knows they’re in love
By the way they dance
