Harry Chapin Dancin Boy Lyrics

Dancin  Boy Lyrics

When your daddy plays guitar,

You dance without a smile.

Kid you may
not have great rhythm,

But you sure got style.

Just four years old
and still it seems,

You've got it figured out.

When daddy sings,
and then you dance,

The people clap and shout.



Cuz, you're
my dancin'  boy,

And it's so scary how you trust me.

Just one look
from you,

And I come pouring out like wine.

Dancin'  boy, I'm sure
by now that you must see,

You're dancin'  means much more to me,

Than any dream of mine.



Yes, I'm so proud when you are with
me,

That my heart digs in my throat.

And when you stop to strut
your stuff,

My eyes go all afloat.

And when I have to leave you
home

As sometimes it must be.

I feel that with my leaving

I
leave far too much of me.



Yes, you're my dancin'  boy,

And
it's scary how you trust me.

Just one look from you,

And I come
pouring out like wine.

You're my dancin'  boy, 

I'm sure by now
that you must see,

You're dancin'  means much more to me,

Than any
dream of mine.



You know the time will come my dancin'  boy

When you're dancin'  days are done,

And when daddy and his dancin' 
boy

Will have dwindled down to one.



You know the world
will've taught you other steps

To match the march of time,

So
you'll have to keep our dancin'  days

Dancin'  in your mind.



Yes, do your dancin' , boy,

Cuz it's so scary how you trust me.

Just one look from you,

And I come pouring out like wine.

Do
your dancin' , boy.

I'm sure by now that you must see

You're
dancin'  means much more to me,

Than any dream of mine.
