lyrics

WISH I COULD DANCE
Christy Funkhouser/ Sean Funkhouser / Jay Clementi

Kinda thought I was born with two left feet
I could groove but couldn’t move to a beat
Man, to Hound Dog it like Elvis
I wish I could dance

One look and I knew that it was love
I never learned how to cut a rug
You were in that red dress calling
I wish I could dance
I wanted to pull you close
And show you what my heart was feeling

It took a long time to give you what you deserved
You just wanted to be held and swayed
And twirled and spun and turned
It took a long drive to a lake and 30 years
I let you down long enough so I Travolta’d up
With some help from above I took a chance
You got your wish
I could dance

Who would have known I could get down
These two left feet floated off the ground
Well, that’s pushing it a little
But you said I can dance
Why did we wait so long, all those slow country songs
Could have been swivel hipping
Showing you off

It took a long time to give you what you deserved
You just wanted to be held and swayed
And twirled and spun and turned
It took a long drive to a lake and 30 years
I let you down long enough so I Travolta’d up
With some help from above I took a chance
You got your wish
I could dance

We’d gaze at the moon when we were miles apart
I’d envision us dancing soul to soul and heart to heart

It took a long time to give you what you deserved
You just wanted to be held and swayed
And twirled and spun and turned
It took a long drive to a lake and 30 years
I let you down long enough so I Travolta’d up
With some help from above I took a chance
You got your wish
I could dance

Thank you, Jesus
I can dance
