Píseň: (Why Don't We Try) A Slow Dance

Interpret:
Barry Manilow
Album:
One Voice
Why don't we try a slow dance
It's all going by us to fast
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance
And maybe this moment will last


All night long we've been dancing
Dancing too far away
All night long I've been waiting for them
To play a slow one


Why don't we try a slow dance
Before it all comes to a close
We'll see how it feels
And see where the feeling goes
Oh why don't we try a slow dance and then
Who knows


It's all goin' by us to fast


And maybe this moment will last


All night long we've been dancing
Dancin' to far away
All night long I 've been wateing for them
To play a slow one


Why don't we try a slow dance
Before it all comes to a close
We'll see how it fells
And see where the fellin' goes
Oh why don't we try a slow dance
And then who knows
Then who knows


Who knows
Who knows
