The summer air was heavy and sweet You and I on a crowded street There was music everywhere I can see us there In a happy little foreign town Where the stars hung upside down A half a world away Far far away I remember you were laughing We were so in love We were so in love And the band played songs we'd never heard But we danced anyway We never understood the words We just sang Oh la la la la la la la oh And we danced anyway They say you can't go back Baby, I don't believe that Come along with me Come on and dance with me Maybe if I hold you close Baby we could just let go Of these things that tie us down We'll come back around Do you remember we were laughing We were so in love We were so in love And the band played songs we'd never heard But we danced anyway We never understood the words We just sang Oh la la la la la la la la la oh And we danced anyway
