“Don’t say a word,” I heard her whisper As she took my hand in hers and led me away The eyes of the night stared down upon us As the moonlight found us a place where the music did play
Chorus: “Let’s dance south of the border Let’s dance barefoot on the Mexican sand Let’s dance tonight by the moonlit shadows Let’s dance tonight by the Rio Grande”
I’ve never know the places she spoke of The sound of her voice in each word was all that I’d need I couldn’t help myself from wanting All that she was, she was the music to me
Chorus: “Let’s dance south of the border Let’s dance barefoot on the Mexican sand Let’s dance tonight by the moonlit shadows Let’s dance tonight by the Rio Grande”
The music was gone and the moonlight was fading The morning was near, the sky was burnt from the sun “Show me again,” I heard her calling She said, “Show me again and we’ll dance by the Rio Grande”
Chorus: “Let’s dance south of the border Let’s dance barefoot on the Mexican sand Let’s dance tonight by the moonlit shadows Let’s dance tonight by the Rio Grande”
