It's Friday night, you must be alone That's the only time you'd ever phone But if you drop by don't be surprised 'Cause darling, I won't be there tonight I'm dancing your memory away In the arms of a stranger For now; I'm okay, my heart's out of danger Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays I'm getting by, one song at a time Dancing your memory away Once, twice, tell me how many times Was I a fool for your lying eyes But I won't be your fool anymore At least not while I'm out on the floor I'm dancing your memory away In the arms of a stranger For now, I'm okay, my heart's out of danger Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays I'm getting by, one song at a time Dancing your memory away I'm dancing your memory away In the arms of a stranger For now, I'm okay, my heart's out of danger
