Mark Winston Hagood - They Go Dancing In The Dark

He was twenty-three she was only nineteen
Hard farm life it's all they've ever seen
Labor 'til the sun goes down trying to make their start
Nothing could put out the fire that's burning in their hearts

And they go dancing in the dark
In the moonlight beneath the twinkling stars
Love is the music playing from their hearts
And they go dancing in the dark

Twenty years of farming can make a body feel old
Sometimes the simple life is a hard row to hoe
There's a lovers moon tonight the kids are all asleep
So they slip into the back yard kick the work shoes off their feet

And they go dancing in the dark
In the moonlight beneath the twinkling stars
Love is the music playing from their hearts
And they go dancing in the dark

Fifty years of loving is weathered in her face
But she has never lost her dignity and grace
Traces of wisdom from the silver in his hair
And they're still here together even in their rocking chairs

And they go dancing in the dark
In the moonlight beneath the twinkling stars
Time has claimed their bodies but they're still young at heart
And they go dancing in the dark

Love's still the music playing from their hearts
And they go dancing in the dark
