Will you ask me to dance before the music's over and the night is through?
Will you twirl me and swirl me just like in the old days they used to do?
And if my feet get tired will you put me aside and say I love you?
Will you ask me to dance before the night is through?

Before the band stops playing will you keep on saying
those sweet tender words?
Will you wine me and dine me like they do in Paris or so I've heard?
And if my lips get lonely will you move in slowly and say I love you?
Will you kiss me with love before the night is through?

Sometimes I get lonely and I need somebody's touch
Sometimes I feel so weary and my eyes get teary
And I need somebody's love

Before they close the curtain
And the band is certain time for one more song
Will you gaze in my eyes like in romantic movies from days gone by?
And if I'm feeling lonely will you be my only because I love you
Will you ask me to dance before the night is through?
