From the recording Dancing With Your Memory
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">This recording remains a favorite of mine in large part because of the instrumental and vocal additions by Grammy winners Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer. I hear in my vocal the influence of Ray Benson of the great western swing band <em>Asleep At The Wheel</em>.<br /><br /></span></span></p>

Lyrics
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">When you and I'd go dancing Friday nights, what started out as fun would turn to fights.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You'd say you loved me so until I’d waltz across your toes!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You said I'd better learn my left foot from my right. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I wanted you to be so proud of me, so I worked to cure my disability.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">The local Foxtrot Studio taught me to rumba and tango.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">A hundred lessons later and I was dancing like a pro ! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">When we resumed our dancing escapades, I danced so well! You clearly were amazed!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Right then, if truth be told I felt your shoulder grew stone cold</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">As you discovered you had been upstaged.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You asked me to change to keep love true. Then when I did you said that we were through!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I took up your dare and now I dance like Fred Astair, but the only one I'm dancing with is your memory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You disappeared. I summoned the police; we searched the dance halls north, south, west and east.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But you two-stepped out on me and left me dancing hopelessly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">What am I to do with all my new-found expertise?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> . . . You did not play fair; now I'm waltzing solitaire . . .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> . . . We'd have made such a pair with my dancing <em>savoir faire </em> . . .</span></p>
