Lyrics
When marimba rhythms start to playDance with me, make me swayLike a lazy ocean hugs the shoreHold me close, sway me moreLike a flower bending in the breezeBend with me, sway with easeWhen we dance you have a way with meStay with me, sway with meOther dancers may be on the floorDear, but my eyes will see only youOnly you have the magic techniqueWhen we sway I go weakI can hear the sounds of violinsLong before it beginsMake me thrill as only you know howSway me smooth, sway me nowOther dancers may be on the floorDear, but my eyes will see only youOnly you have the magic techniqueWhen we sway I go weakI can hear the sounds of violinsLong before it beginsMake me thrill as only you know howSway me smooth, sway me nowYou know howSway me smooth, sway me now
