Take a lady by the hand now
Walk her in the moonlight
Tell her that the starlight
Is shining on her just right
Then whisper in her ear now
Tell her how you feel now
Put your heart out on your sleeve
Don't ask how, just do it now
Don't let another dark day go by
Don't hide what's in your heart
Gotta live a little life before
Take a lady by the hand now
You lead her to the dance floor,
tip the band to play more
All -time country that she'll adore
Then pull her in real close
when they play a slow waltz
And dip her down low, low, low
Sometimes life can sweep you up
In the things you should be giving up
Life is short, short and sweet
Gotta have a little fun before it's
We'll take some old -fashioned chivalry
Mix a little romantic comedy
Tip your hat, find a four -leaf clover
Let her fall in love, don't bowl her over
Take a lady by the hand now
Walk her in the moonlight
Tell her that the starlight
Is dancing on her so nice
Tell her how you feel now
Put your heart out on your sleeve
And dip her down low, low, low, so low
