A
You look out of your window
D
Into the night
A
Could be rain, could be snow
D
But it can't feel as cold as you're feeling inside
A
And all of you friends are either married, vanished
D
Or just left alone
E D
But that's no reason to just stop living
E D Bm E
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart
A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
D E
Don't forget to smile
A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
D E
Forget it for a while
E E E
'Cause darling, darling
D
I bet you danced a good one in your time
E
And if this were a party
D
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine
Bm E
Yes, you with the broken heart
A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
C E
Don't forget to smile

Forget it for a while

A
You walk down the street
D
And all the young punks whistle at you
A
A nice bit of old
Just goes to show what you can achieve
D
With the right attitude
A
As you pass them by
D
They whisper their remarks one to another
A
And you give them the eye
D
Even though you know that you could be their mother
E
You do the thing you love the best
D
What separates you from the rest
E
And what you love to do the most?
Bm
And when they ask me how you danced
E
I'll say that you danced real close
