[Verse 1]
Tonight's the christmas dance in london town
The lights are up, the snow is falling down
Like ev'ry year i catch your eye acros the floor
But too afraid to do much more

[Chorus]
At the christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
Yeh, the christmas dance
The only dance i wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the christmas dance

[Verse 2]
I combed my hair and straightened out my tie
This year i'm gonna ask you do or die
And i'll need ev'ry ounce of courage i can find
Feet don't fail me, love be kind

[Chorus]
At the christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
The christmas dance
The only dance i wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the christmas dance

[Verse 3]
No more searching love at last (no more searching love at last)
No more ghosts of christmas past (no more ghosts of christmas past)
Under the mistletoe we kissed and danced so slow
Ho!
And when our children ask of the meaning of romance

[Chorus]
At the christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
At the christmas dance
The only dance i wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the christmas dance

[Outro]
(Oh, the christmas dance)
(Yeah, the christmas dance)[x2]
Merry christmas!
(Yeah, the christmas dance, yeah)
Merry christmas! Yeah
Merry christmas! Yes! Yeah! Yeah!
At the christmas dance!

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
