Wake up Dancin'

Lyrics

He pulled that straight-back wicker chair
 Up next to grandpa's bed
 And with a voice left weak by pain
 His grandpa softly said
 "Could you get my cowboy boots
 And that gold pocket watch of mine?
 And bring me my Sunday suit
 With the vest that's satin-lined
 When he saw the sadness
 In his grandson's eyes
 He said, "I've got to be prepared
 Because I'm going home tonight"
 I'm gonna waltz across the heavens
 While a band of angels play
 I'm gonna two-step on some stardust
 A million miles away
 You'll never have a new beginning
 Until you reach the end
 And these old legs
 Are gonna come to life again
 Gonna wake up dancin'
 ♪
 He said, "If it's not too much trouble
 There's one thing left to do
 Since I'm going to see your grandma
 Could you get her favorite shoes?"
 "The ones with those ribbons
 Red and trimmed in white
 The last time she had them on
 I believe we danced all night"
 "And why she left them here
 It's plain to see
 Your grandma never danced
 With anyone but me"
 And we're gonna waltz across the heavens
 While a band of angels play
 We're gonna two-step on some stardust
 A million miles away
 You'll never have a new beginning
 Until you reach the end
 And these old legs
 Are gonna come to life again
 We're gonna waltz across the heavens
 While a band of angels play
 We're gonna two-step on some stardust
 A million miles away
 I'll never have a new beginning
 Until I reach the end
 And these old legs
 Are gonna come to life again
 Gonna wake up dancin'
