The summer air was heavy and sweet   You and I on a crowded street   There was music everywhere, I can see us there   In a happy little foreign town   Where the stars hung upside down   A half a world away, far, far away      I remember you were laughing   We were so in love, we were so in love      Chorus:   And the band played    Songs that we had never heard   But we danced anyway   We never understood the words   We just sang oh la la la la la la la la    And we danced anyway      Well they say you can't go back   But baby I don't believe that   Come along with me, come on and dance with me   Well maybe if I hold you close   Baby we could just let go   Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around      You remember we were laughing   We were so in love, so in love      (chrous)      You remember we were laughing   We were so in love, we were so in love      And the band played    Songs that we had never heard   But we danced anyway   We never understood the words   We just sang oh la la la la la la la la    La la la of the world   Ohhhhhh   And we dance anyway (oohh we were laughing ohh)   Ohhhh   And we danced anyway   (ohh we were dancing ohh)
