Album: Chapter & Verse (2024)

  • I was seven years old, he was holding my hand
    So we walked in the gym, he could tell I was scared
    Said, "You can pretend it's just you and me"
    So I closed my eyes and I stood on his feet

    And he said, dance like no one's watchin'
    Whatever you do
    And if life gives you love, fall in
    But always be you
    Oh, 'cause, girl, it's a big world
    And it's so easy to get lost in
    So dance like no one's watchin'
    Oh, no, no

    He taped up the last box and he shut the trunk
    Said, "Go have a ball, just don't drink too much"
    You should be there by dark, you're an hour ahead
    Let us know you got there and never forget

    Oh, to dance like no one's watchin'
    Whatever you do
    And if life gives you love, fall in
    But always be you
    Oh, 'cause, girl, it's a big world
    And it's so easy to get lost in
    So dance like no one's watchin'
    Oh, no

    I can't believe that you picked this song
    You can hold it together, just don't look at mom
    It's just like we practiced back at the house
    Use those two left feet, spin me around

    Daddy, dance like no one's watchin'
    Whatever you do
    And if life gives you love, then fall in
    But always be you
    Oh, I know it's a big world
    And it's so easy to get lost in
    So dance like no one's watchin' Writer/s: Emily Lynn Weisband, James McNair, Luke Albert Combs
