139 - Sway
Verse 1
^ When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
^ Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Verse 2
^ Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
^ When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Bridge
^ Other dancers may be on the floor
^ Dear, but my eyes will see only you
^ Only you have the magic technique
^ When we sway I go weak
Verse 3
^ I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
^ Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
