[Verse 1] I stepped out in silk On Mercer at nine Your name in my clutch And a grin so fine Cars kissed the curb Like they knew my song The night wore pearls And I came along [Pre-Chorus] The windows all glowed Like a row of gems The bass in the room Said, "Come on in" I brushed past the smoke Found your hand in the crowd You gave me that look Too smooth, too proud [Chorus] Dance me through midnight (come on, come on) Dance me through midnight (hold me close now) We got the whole block swinging We got the whole room singing Dance me through midnight (mercy, mercy) [Verse 2] Ice in my glass Moon on your cheek A laugh from the bar Turned sweet and sleek The drummer kept time Like a secret kept And every slow step Was a promise we left [Pre-Chorus] The ceiling was low But the mood ran high Your fingertips traced A slow skyline I leaned in once And the world got kind Just one more turn Then one more line [Chorus] Dance me through midnight (come on, come on) Dance me through midnight (hold me close now) We got the whole block swinging We got the whole room singing Dance me through midnight (mercy, mercy) [Bridge] If tomorrow calls Let it wait outside Tonight I’m a spark With a velvet stride Play that old refrain Let it bend, let it burn I like the way The corners turn [Sax Solo] [Chorus] Dance me through midnight (come on, come on) Dance me through midnight (hold me close now) We got the whole block swinging We got the whole room singing Dance me through midnight (mercy, mercy) Dance me through midnight (come on, come on) Dance me through midnight (hold me close now) We got the whole block swinging We got the whole room singing Dance me through midnight (mercy, mercy)
