For Sharon
A Song Lyric
by Sheila King
G
1. Sharon, I’ve been thinking of you;
Wondering what happened to you
Wondering if you still know
D
How to dance in the dark
C D
People talk (but they don’t know).
C D
It was so many years ago
C D G
You used to listen to the radio and dance in the dark
2. You were tall and not too pretty.
People said it was a pity
That a girl like you
just wasn’t going anywhere.
Me? I liked your poetry
and the way you treated me
And you’re the one who showed me
how to dance in the dark.
Chorus:
C D
Maybe it’s because I’m older
E
I see the world through different eyes.
C D
You’d say I’ve gotten colder,
E
Still it took me by surprise -
D
Look what it did to you...
3. Don’t know where to send a letter,
but I hope you’re feelin’ better
Hope you’re getting all the
necessary therapy
I don’t know why I’m not beside you,
As many times as I’ve been lied to
I guess it helped remembering
How to dance in the dark...
Repeat Chorus:
