We Danced All Night
|
[Verse]
We danced all night under the moon
To a band that played our tune
Her laughter echoed in the breeze
We swayed like leaves on Eucalyptus trees
[Chorus]
Come back again girl of girls
With your twirls and dream-curls
You left your mark on the coast so wide
Australia’s heart can't be denied
[Verse 3]
Her touch was soft like desert rain
But she vanished like a ghostly train
Through gum trees and outback lanes
She left me with a heart in chains
[Bridge]
Oh girl of girls where did you go
Down under skies that always glow
Your memory haunts this bay and shore
Come back I need you more and more
[Chorus]
Come back again girl of girls
With your twirls and dream-curls
You left your mark on the coast so wide
Australia’s heart can't be denied [Bridge]
Oh girl of girls where did you go
Down under skies that always glow
Your memory haunts this bay and shore
Come back I need you more and more
[Chorus]
Come back again girl of girls
With your twirls and dream-curls
You left your mark on the coast so wide
Australia’s heart can't be denied |
