Johnny Rivers - Swayin' To The Music Lyrics






It's late at night and we're all alone,
just the music on the radio.
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone.
Just me and you and the lights down low.

[Chorus:]
We're slow dancin', swayin' to the music.
slow dancin', just me and my girl.
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music.
no one else in the whole wide world,

Just you, girl.

And we just flow together when the lights are low,
Shadows dancin' all across the wall.
Music's playin' so soft and slow
The rest of the world's so far away and small, when...

[Repeat chorus]

Hold me, oh hold me, no, never let me go.
And as we dance together in the dark,
So much love in this heart of mine.
Whisper to me, hold me tight.
You're the one I thought I'd never find,
And now...

[Repeat chorus]

    When my daughter was just a few months old it was hard to get her to fall asleep - every night I came home from work I sang this song to her to put her to sleep. Still some of the best nights of my life , rocking my beautiful baby girl to sleep with such a wonderful song . I'll always fondly remember that time of my life. They grow up so fast .

    I’m not old enough to be married but this song. I have never. Ever. Cried over a song so much in my entire life. This song. My dad used to sing this to me every night before bed and we would slow dance together. And I remember having to stand up on my bed so that I’d be tall enough to hug him. And now this song just means so much to me. I grew up with this song. Hearing it for the first time in probably about ten years really just hit me like a sack of bricks. I hope one day I can sing this to whomever I get married to and make it an even more special song

  24. R.... ....

    The Mark of a Artist who stands the Test of Time is in his Voice. There are perhaps only a few dozen Singers that are recognized INSTANTLY from the first few notes of the Sound of his/her Voice. Johnny is one of those Immortal Talents.

  92. R.... M....

    I was 13 when this great song came out. Still a bit young and no girl yet. But I could dream. Would surely dance to it today. Just me and my girl.

  93. f.... s....

    I had a super crush on a womani she was tall, slender beautiful brown hair .big blue eyes, it was sometime in the early 8os.Havent seen her since,

  94. C.... B....

    Bela canção e que transmite muito sentimento, Jhonny Rivres é incomparável...

  95. R.... C....

    This next skate will be ladies choice couples only. Man so many great memories.

  96. T.... L....

    I listen to this song all the time..just me and my honey. Slow dancing

  97. B.... W....

  98. D.... H....

    Romantic piece of heaven, this song is great love song....Johnny knew how to make any song breathe and come alive.

  99. L.... K....

    So loved being raised in the 70's. Childhood was misery but, music keeps us so alive :) Everyone be Blessed :)
