Lyrics

You’re flying around the country
Sitting in airports
Thinking of me
Hopefully
And I’m at home alone counting the days

Till we’re dancing, dancing
Dancing at home
Till we’re dancing, dancing
Dancing at home

You’re living out of a suitcase
Getting some rest
Feeling your best
Hopefully
And I’m at home alone counting the days

Till we’re dancing, dancing…

You’ll sing me some Sinatra
Hold me near
Call me dear
Hopefully
How do I love thee?

I want to talk about unimportant things
And leave the world behind
Let’s just stay young at heart

Just dancing, dancing
Dancing at home
We’re just dancing, dancing
Dancing at home
