Dance with the Ladies - Lori McKenna

The ladies line up once they hear you are singing

Each batting an eye like they did long ago

Now times moves so slow

Veronica is still the one of your favor

Your first wife you say as if there were many more

There is only her…

Will you dance with the ladies who ask you to join them

Sing in their ear as you move them along

Smile with your eyes when they tell you

They love you as long as you’re singing their song

When wishes are wrapped inside of paper napkins

And prayers are only answered by surprise

You’re a sight for sore eyes

Will you dance with the ladies who ask you to join them

Sing in their ear as you move them along

Smile with your eyes when they tell you

They love you as long as you’re singing their song

When waltzing Matilda is all you remember

From 89 years of a life lived so well

All that you need is a partner to dance with

And share with you heaven and take you from hell

They don’t know your name

Of who taught you to dance well

They’re seeing a man

That they loved when they were young

Love’s never undone

So come dance with the ladies who ask you to join them

Sing in their ear as you move them along

Smile with your eyes when they tell you they love you
