A
You look out of your window
  D
Into the night
          A
Could be rain, could be snow
                                      D
But it can't feel as cold as you're feeling inside
     A
And all of you friends are either married, vanished
     D
Or just left alone
     E                   D
But that's no reason to just stop living
  E                   D                Bm              E
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart
  A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
 D                E
Don't forget to smile
   A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
   D               E
Forget it for a while
    E       E        E
'Cause darling, darling
                     D
I bet you danced a good one in your time
        E
And if this were a party
                           D
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine
       Bm                   E
Yes, you with the broken heart
  A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
  C                E
Don't forget to smile
   A
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
    D             E
Forget it for a while

       A
You walk down the street
                            D
And all the young punks whistle at you
    A
A nice bit of old

Just goes to show what you can achieve
            D
With the right attitude
         A
As you pass them by
                            D
They whisper their remarks one to another
          A
And you give them the eye
                                 D
Even though you know that you could be their mother
                                E
You do the thing you love the best
          D
What separates you from the rest
                              E
And what you love to do the most?
               Bm
And when they ask me how you danced
                                 E
I'll say that you danced real close
