Lyrics
Dancing Now (for Andy)
G D C
I was the kid brother who studied too hard, always sitting down.
G D C
You got me downstairs to the ping pong table for one more round.
G D C
You never struggled but got good grades in everything.
G D C
You'd practice dancing up in your room, make the room lights chink.
refrain
G D C
And I hope you two are dancing.
G D C
I hope you two are dancing.
G D C
I hope you two are dancing.
G D C G
I hope you two are dancing now.
You were the best at games. You needed someone you could beat.
I made it a little harder for you every week.
When Chris came home from college, you would sing A Song Will Rise.
You'd pull me into line to sing the harmony way up high.
refrain
Em D
But in the year of '67,
Em C
I'd turned 15 years old.
Em D
In the morning after your prom night,
Em C
you and Shifra were lying cold.
Em D
Our garage trapped those fumes around you.
Em C
You slipped from us in each others' arms.
Em D
Why so soon? was on all our lips.
Em C
But not an answer could be formed.
refrain
C G - D - C
Dancing now.
Dancing now.
Dancing now.
