The Old Soft Shoe

I still do the old soft shoe

When I am lonely with nothing to do

I glide across the floor to the music next door

Hoping I'll see you out there on the floor

I still know which way to go

I practice the old steps all by myself

I won't be excused this old soft shoe

I'm dancing with you and nobody else

This wallflower is waiting

For you to come back

A dancing partner is all that I lack

I still do the old soft shoe

I trip around the kitchen, there's a table for two

But I live her alone, and nobody knows

That I dance each evening all on my own

I close my eyes and I'm at your side

We're spinning and turning

There's nowhere to hide

I'm not alone anymore

I hear your voice and I open the door

I still do the old soft shoe

When I am lonely with nothing to do

I live her alone, and nobody knows

That I dance each evening all on my own

I dance each evening all on my own
