For Fred

Thank you for getting me to dance
Thank you for getting me out on the floor
Thank you for getting me to dance
I'd forgotten that sometimes that's what music's for
It was a stretch- I think we both knew it
But just the same I wanted to do it
So thank you for getting me to dance

Thank you for getting me to dance
For getting me out from behind this guitar
Thank you for getting me to dance
And making me feel like I belonged in your arms
It was fun, and sexy, and freeing
I didn't care what others were seeing
So thank you for getting me to dance
Thank you for getting me to dance
Thanks for the twirls, the dips and the spins
Thank you for getting me to dance
And that look in your eyes when the band would begin
And though the music is slowing, and we both should be going
I'm glad I took the chance...
So thank you.... for getting me to dance
