Orleans’ ’75 “Dance With Me” Melody Will Have You Swaying All Day Long

Just One Dance

Orleans’ first hit ever, “Dance With  Me,” is the perfect melody to pick you up from a gloomy day due to its contagiously comfortable beat and harmony between the three talented artists. Performing the soft rock classic on the Midnight Special is an extremely calm and professional Orleans with genuine vocals, impressive talk box skills and an earnest desire to spread their beautiful acoustic music.

Interesting Fact: Like many of Orleans’ songs, this was written by their guitarist/vocalist John Hall and his wife/lyricist Johanna. The Halls divorced in 2000, and John was elected to congress in 2006.

The lyrics behind “Dance With Me” display a romantic setting where a man knows who he wants and why we wants to take her around the dance floor, and only her…

As their first hit, Orleans rode “Dance With Me” to #6 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. With other hits like “Still The One” and “Love Takes Time,” Orleans is the epitome of feel-good soft rock that helps to brighten your day just a little more. Enjoy!

+ Dance With Me Lyrics +

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me

Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me

Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you where you want to go

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me

Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you if you want to go

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me
