Lyrics
She laced them up before the sun was bright Red leather heels and ribbons tied up tight The kitchen floor became a ballroom stage A song inside her turning every page The kettle whistled out a little tune Her feet were spinning round the afternoon No band, no crowd, no spotlight overhead Just joy enough to dance on, she said Tap, tap, tap, can you hear them call Tap, tap, tap, there's a waltz in the hall Dancing shoes don't wait for music They find the beat in the floor Dancing shoes don't need a reason Just a door that's open once more Spin, spin, let the whole world turn Lift your heart and let it fly Dancing shoes don't wait for music They make the music as they go by The neighbours heard the rhythm through the wall One by one they wandered down the hall A baker, then a boy with a violin And suddenly the street let joy come in Every step a laugh, every turn a cheer Come on, come on, there is room in here Hold out your hand and take the lead Everyone can dance, and that's all you need Dancing shoes don't wait for music They find the beat in the floor Dancing shoes don't need a reason Just a door that's open once more Spin, spin, let the whole world turn Lift your heart and let it fly Dancing shoes don't wait for music They make the music as they go by They make the music As they go by
