Lovely Night For Dancing

Lyrics: Bill Withers
Music: Bill Withers

Performed by Reconstruction with Merle on vocals and Jerry on guitar. Normally known as "Get Up And Dance" on setlists. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics.

Such a lovely night for dancin'
And I get this feelin' from a love song
Love, sunset to sun rise
And I feel that the music turns me on
Love twilight under blue skies (note 1)
And I feel like dancin'
All night long

Such a lovely night for dancin'
And I get this feelin' from a love song
Love, sunset to sunrise
And I feel that the music really turns me on
Love twilight under blue skies
And I feel like dancin'
All night long

Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)

Such a lovely night for dancin'
And I get this feelin' from a love song
Love, sunset to sunrise
And I feel that the music really turns me on
Love twilight under blue skies
And I feel like dancin'
All night long

Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
Get up and dance with me
(Get up and dance)
Get up and dance with me
(Won't you dance with me)
