Dancing with the Girl You Love.
Copyright, 1190, by Spaulding- At Gray.
Words and Music by Charles Shackford.

You may sing of all the pleasures that you have on Sunday night,
When you go to see the girl you love;
When she sits a little closer, after you've turned down the light,
And you tell her she's the girl you love,
Then you think you are in Paradise, you feel so very queer,
And you vow you'll be as true as stars above,
But that feeling isn't in It with the pleasures, for a minute,
You have dancing with the girl you love.

Chorus
When you're dancing with the girl you love,
When you're dancing with the girl you love,
When you hold her in your arms, then you realize the charms
Of dancing with the girl you love.- [Dance]

In the winter or the summer, in the spring-time or the fall,
When you go to see the girl you love;
If you long for real enjoyment, take her to a fancy ball,
And her eyes will shine like stars above,
Gently place your arms around her, when the band begins to play,
Murmur softly," You're the only girl I love,"
And you find there is no pleasure to compare with, when at leisure,
That of dancing with the girl you love.- Chorus.
