Francis And The Lights - May I Have This Dance (Remix) Lyrics






[Francis and the Lights:]
In the ground, we bury
The seeds of a pear tree
All the things, we carried
Now we're down to our bare feet

May I have this dance to make it up to you?
Can I say something crazy? I love you
Give me both your hands to make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you

We are bound to inherit
The sins of our parents
And all of the people we passed through
Now we're down to the last two

May I have this dance to make it up to you?
Can I say something crazy? I love you
Give me both your hands to make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you

[Chance The Rapper:]
You've got your, your mother's eyes
You've got your, your grandmother's ring
You've got your daddy's discernment
Girl, you did your thing, oh, give me one more
One, two, one, two, always on beat
You must have been born with two right feet
I know you've been looking for something concrete
You must have been born with two right feet
Say one, two, one, two, always on beat
I know you've been looking for something concrete
You must have been born with two right feet
You must have been born with two right feet
Said I love you more than your mother
More than you love yourself

[Francis and the Lights:]
May I have this dance to make it up to you?
Can I say something crazy? I love you
Give me one more chance, give me one more chance
Give me one more, let me spin and excite you
May I have this dance to make it up to you?
Can I say something crazy? I love you
Give me one more chance, give me one more chance
Give me one more, let me spin and excite you

  1. M.... M....

    I just want to thank you for this song. I am so in love with it! If I had found this song 2 months earlier it would've been mine and my husbands first dance song at our wedding. The lyrics are absolutely perfect. The part about loving you more than your mother, and shes got her grandmothers ring (my wedding ring was my grandmothers who passed the same year we were married),and the part about inheriting the sins of our parents. It hits home on so many different levels. I wish I could have another wedding just so this could be our first dance song lol. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing experience every time I were this song. Truly Magical!!

    It's in the movie, *everything everything*
    😥🖤🖤🔊

  36. s.... ....

    He actually sounds more like Peter Gabriel than Phil Collins.

    s.... ....

    Like a blend of both.

    s.... ....

    Definitely! I think people are confused because they hear the sound of Genesis and assume it's Phil. But I'm a huge Peter Gabriel fan and I immediately knew WHO it sounded like. :-)

    s.... ....

    @Kristy Whited I always found that Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sounds kinda similar personnally !

  37. L.... K....

    Who still listening in 2019??!!

    L.... K....

    ❣2019+❣

    L.... K....

    @Terraca Collins Just discovered it in 2019 and it's probably my favorite song "of the year."

    L.... K....

    Haha 2020

  38. J.... B....

  40. J.... M....

    I thought this was Peter Gabriel when I first heard him! Love this song.

  41. R.... i....

    Great song! Don't know how I got here but I'm glad I'm here.

  42. M.... ....

    What the hell??? This HAS to be sung by Peter Gabriel! The vocals sound amazingly just like him. Beautiful song

  43. N.... G....

    2019 anyone

  44. A.... ....

    0:00 the demon in my bedroom dancing to the song i played at 3am

  45. K.... S....

    Sounds like phil Collins lol

  46. O.... B....

    One of the best music videos I've seen in a long time. So different in that it's not all flashy and trying to show off; a giant blockbuster movie with cars and jewellery everywhere. It's just really powerful, artistic, sincere and really well thought out.

    O.... B....

    Exactly. It's beautifully genius.

  47. M.... R....

    Sounds like Randy Newman... that's why. I like this song.

  48. m.... v....

    I love this song so much and I decided to look for the video and I’m so disappointed it has nothing to do with the song.... at all!

    m.... v....

    It is cute though.. the dance

  49. A.... ....

    i cant stop loving you rip

  50. B.... G....

    We did this song for my mom and danced,she smiled while crying

  51. t.... m....

    I haven't seen this in ages. still slaps

  52. N.... R....

    Good !!!

  53. M.... B....

    I think about my mother when I hear this. I miss her!

  54. M.... E....

    This is art

  55. Y.... A....

    spoke to my soul.

  56. j.... ....

    agreed. Sounds like either Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel. Or a mix of the both

  57. A.... K....

    It's like a new Phil Collins jam.

  58. D.... M....

    Just found this song im addicted already

  59. S.... J....

    ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE

  60. P.... O....

    why is chance wearing hovercrafts for shoes

  61. D.... U....

    Hearing this beauty for the first time 🥺🔥

  62. I.... H....

    This reminds me so much of peter Gabriel. Francis was at Kanye’s Sunday service which totally reminds me of peter Gabriel’s live performances..really cool sound

  63. M.... ....

    How do I not know this song

  64. L.... M....

    Everything, everything

  65. F.... L....

    Always Be My Maybe brought me here

  66. D.... W....

    Does anybody know dance symbolism? I love that Chance does the whole routine alone and it seems impromptu till the other guy pops in.

    D.... W....

    pretty good article about it here https://www.dailycal.org/2017/05/19/francis-lights-chance-rapper-music-video-breakdown/

  67. t.... ....

  72. O.... V....

    I'm sorry but I hate chance the rapper's outfit, it's like this typical dad outfit.

    O.... V....

    I thought it was the Vote For Pedro t-shirt

  73. C.... D....

    F.... ....

  87. T.... C....
