Dance by the Rio Grande

"Don't say a word," I heard her whisper
As she took my hand in hers and led me away
The eyes of the night stared down upon us
As the moonlight found us a place where the music did play

Chorus:
"Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot on the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande"

I've never know the places she spoke of
The sound of her voice in each word was all that I'd need
I couldn't help myself from wanting
All that she was, she was the music to me

Chorus:
"Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot on the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande"

The music was gone and the moonlight was fading
The morning was near, the sky was burnt from the sun
"Show me again," I heard her calling
She said, "Show me again and we'll dance by the Rio Grande"

Chorus:
"Let's dance south of the border
Let's dance barefoot on the Mexican sand
Let's dance tonight by the moonlit shadows
Let's dance tonight by the Rio Grande"
