Everybody Dancing lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Everybody Was Dancing lyrics She runs right out to the very edge Then takes a step back to clear her head She got married at twenty-one After thirty years it s hard to jump It s hard to jump And everybody was dancing on their wedding day And all her friends have been asking, "Why would you throw it away?" And she doesn t know what to say He is watching from back in his chair Wondering if she s bluffing or if it s a dare And he d like to tell her they can work it out But the tender words won t come out They won t come out And everybody was dancing on their wedding day And all their friends have been asking, "Why would you throw it away?" And she doesn t know what to say She feels the terror most when she looks down She drops a penny and doesn t hear a sound And yet the silence in her own home Begs the question: "Why not be alone?" Why not alone? And everybody was dancing on their wedding day And to herself she is asking, "Why do I stay?" And she doesn t know what to say song lyrics
