Slow Dance, Both of Us Nervous

Lyrics

You held out your hand, and it was shaking
So was mine, we both could tell
The music turned to something slow
And neither one of us said farewell

We're both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the song just play
Hand in hand and heart to heart
Trembling, but we're here
Both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the whole room sway
Nothing's wrong, we're just alive
Hold me, hold me near

Your shoulder smelled like rain and cedar
My feet forgot the way to move
We stepped on toes and laughed it off
And that was how the night went smooth

We're both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the song just play
Hand in hand and heart to heart
Trembling, but we're here
Both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the whole room sway
Nothing's wrong, we're just alive
Hold me, hold me near

Slow, slow, the lights go low
Everyone else has gone to sleep
Slow, slow, I don't want to go
This is a place I'd like to keep

We're both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the song just play
Hand in hand and heart to heart
Trembling, but we're here
Both nervous, hold me anyway
Both nervous, let the whole room sway
Nothing's wrong, we're just alive
Hold me, hold me near

Both nervous
Hold me near
