down on a small town Saturday
The moon said I'm just a lonely
satellite dancing on a string
I unzipped the back of a ball gown,
And let it fall to the floor
And then the moon and the stars
Did a rock and roll slow dance
Like two kids at the prom
Between midnight and dawn
What a lovely way to start
Even though it broke two hearts
on a rock 'n 'roll slow dance
Celestial bodies dance and spin
When spring rolls round, we dance again
I go back to the very first time
When the moon and the stars
did a rock 'n 'roll slow dance
Like two kids at the prom
Who found first love and lost
Between midnight and dawn
We both let our hearts get tangled
That's the way it ought to be
New directions, different angles
But I'll remember endlessly
did a rock -and -roll slow dance
Like two kids in the prom
Between midnight and dawn
What a lovely way to start
Even though it broke two hearts
On a rock and roll slow dance
