My Dancing Days Are Done

Every time Petula sings

One of her French songs

Every time Petula sings

One of her French songs

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done

My dancing days are done

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

Do you recall the ball rushes

We would pick for my mom

Do you recall the ball rushes

We would pick for my mom

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done

Me in my only suit

You your best dress on

Meeting for the one night

Would last us the week long

Me in my only suit, You in your best dress on

Meeting for the one night, Would last us the week long

Now one night is only one night, leaving

Another six to go!

My dancing days are done

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done

Do you recall the ball rushes

We would pick for my mom

Just to see her face light up

After you'd walked me home

Do you recall the ball rushes, We would pick for my mom

Just to see her face a-smile, After you walked me home

The bull rush pond has been dug up

To be replaced by a road

My dancing days are done

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done

Every time Petula sings

One of her French songs

I remember dance halls

Up and down goes my heart

Every time Petula sings, One of her French songs

I remember dance halls, Up and down goes my heart

Getting to hear her voice, on the radio

Is getting to be so rare!

My dancing days are done

And I thought tomorrow wouldn't come

My dancing days are done
