Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
What you can achieve with the right attitude
A nice bit of old just goes to show
As you pass them by they whisper
Don't forget to smile
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feeling inside
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart
You do the thing you love the most
I bet you danced a good one in your time
Forget it for a while
And when they ask me how you dance
You walk down the street and all the young punks whistle at you
And all of you friends are either married, vanished or just left alone
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
'Cause darling, darling
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Yes, you with the broken heart
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Forget it for a while
And if this were a party
What separates you from the rest
Even that you know that you could be their mother
And what you love to do the most?
Their remarks one to another and you give them the eye
I say that you dance real close
But that's no reason to just stop living
Forget it for a while
