Lyrics
Let's look on love as a plaything
All these sweet moments we've known
Mustn't be degraded
When the thrill of them has faded
Let's say goodbye and leave it alone
Teach me to dance like grandma used to dance
I refuse to dance blues
Black bottoms, Charlestons, what wind blew them in?
Monkeys do them in zoos
Back in the past the dancing signified
Just a dignified go
They didn't have to be so strong
Though they revolved the whole night long
Teach me to dance like grandma used to dance
Sixty summers ago
We were dancing
And the gods must have found it entrancing
For they smiled on a moment undefiled
By the care and woe that mortals know
We were dancing
And the music and lights were enhancing our desire
When the world caught on fire
She and I were dancing
Play to me beneath a summer moon
Tzigayna, Tzigayna, Tzigayna
Now you hold me in your power
Play to me for just an hour
Tzigayna
You were there
Your eyes looked into mine and folded everywhere
The color of the whole world altered
Pulse became two
My universe tumbled in two
The earth became heaven, for you were there
Nevermore, nevermore
Can life be quite the same
The lights and shadows change
All the old familiar world is strange
Evermore, evermore
Our hearts are in the flame
Others may regain their freedom
But for you and me, never, nevermore
Though my world has gone awry
Though the years my tears may dry
I shall love you 'til I die
Out in the midday, out in the midday
Out in the midday, out in the midday
Out in the midday, out in the midday
Out in the midday sun
