Harry Chapin dancing boy

Select language to translate this lyric

When your daddy plays guitar
You dance without a smile
Kid you may not have great rhythm
But you sure got style
Just four years old and still it seems
You've got it figured out
When daddy sings and then you dance
The people clap and shout
'Cause you're my dancin' boy
And it's so scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wine
Dancin' boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancing means much more to me
Than any dream of mine
Yes, I'm so proud when you are with me
That my heart digs in my throat
And when you stop to strut your stuff
My eyes go all afloat
And when I have to leave you home
As sometimes it must be
I feel that with my leaving
I leave far too much of me
Yes, you're my dancin' boy
And it's scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wine
You're my dancin' boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancing means much more to me
Than any dream of mine
Oh, dancin' kid
You know the time will come my dancin' boy
When you're dancing days are done
And when daddy and his dancin' boy
Will have dwindled down to one
You know the world will have taught you other steps
To match the march of time
So you'll have to keep our dancing days
Dancing in your mind
Yes, do your dancin', boy
'Cause it's so scary how you trust me
Just one look from you
And I come pouring out like wine
Do your dancin', boy
I'm sure by now that you must see
You're dancing means much more to me
Than any dream of mine
Dancin' boy
