Come Dance With Me
Swing into Romance: Dancing Under the Moonlight with Diana Krall
Lyrics
Hey there, cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me
Invitation to someone affectionately referred to as "cutes" to put on dancing boots and join in a dance.
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Expressing the ideal evening for dancing (terpsichore), creating a lively atmosphere.
Handsome face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me
Highlighting the attractiveness of a person and suggesting a great place for swing dancing.
Romance with me across a crowded floor
Proposing a romantic dance amidst a crowded dance floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin'
Anticipating expressing beautiful sentiments while dancing to the rhythm.
'Cause what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'
Describing dancing as a form of making love to the music being played.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
Transitioning from the dance scene as the band finishes and people disperse.
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Imagining a romantic walk home cheek to cheek after the dance.
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Encouraging and repeating the invitation to dance.
Hey there, cutes, put on those Basie boots and come on dance with me
Reiterating the invitation, this time mentioning "Basie boots" in reference to Count Basie, a renowned jazz musician.
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Echoing the sentiment of an ideal evening for dancing.
Handsome face, I know a swingin' place, so come on dance with me
Reaffirming the attractive setting for swing dancing and inviting someone to join.
Romance with me on a crowded floor
Repeating the idea of romance on a crowded dance floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin'
Continuing the anticipation of expressing love through dance.
For what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'
Restating the notion that dancing is a form of making love to the music.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
Returning to the scene as the band finishes and people begin to leave.
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Reimagining a romantic walk home cheek to cheek after the dance.
Come on, come on, come on
Repeating the invitation to come and dance.
Come on and dance with me
Reiterating the call to dance.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
Revisiting the scene as the band wraps up and people disperse.
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Reimagining a romantic walk home cheek to cheek after the dance.
Come on, come on, come on
Repeating the invitation to come and dance.
Come on, come on, come on
Reiterating the call to dance multiple times for emphasis.
Come on and dance with me
Final invitation to join in the dance.
