First Warm Day, Take Me Dancing

by Marcus Bell Quartet

“Coat on the hook, sidewalk gone golden, and an invitation to dance. A bright, easy way to close the book for now.”

Lyrics

Left my coat on the hook, left my cares by the door
The sidewalk's gone golden, who could ask for more
Café chairs on the pavement, a trumpet down the lane
Spring has come to town, and it's dancing in the lane

Take my hand, take the street
Feel the sun beneath your feet

First warm day, take me dancing
Down the avenue, just romancing
With the breeze and the blue and the sound of a song
First warm day, we can't go wrong
First warm day, take me dancing
Every step has a little bit of glancing
At the sky, at the sun, at the smile in your eye
First warm day, let the good times fly

Ice cream cart on the corner, ringing out its tune
A kid with a kite and an afternoon
Old men on the bench, sleeves rolled to the knee
Humming to the trees what the trees hum to me

Take my hand, take the street
Feel the sun beneath your feet

First warm day, take me dancing
Down the avenue, just romancing
With the breeze and the blue and the sound of a song
First warm day, we can't go wrong
First warm day, take me dancing
Every step has a little bit of glancing
At the sky, at the sun, at the smile in your eye
First warm day, let the good times fly

Winter had its say
Now it's time to play
Spin me once around the lamppost
And we'll dance the day away

First warm day, take me dancing
Down the avenue, just romancing
With the breeze and the blue and the sound of a song
First warm day, we can't go wrong
First warm day, take me dancing
Every step has a little bit of glancing
At the sky, at the sun, at the smile in your eye
First warm day, let the good times fly

First warm day
Take me dancing
