[Verse 1]
See the moonlight shining through the pines and I know I am steady on my way
Got no reason for the radio I’d rather feel the wind and hear the bull frogs sing
Got a buddy out towards Monroe said he caught some hogs he’ll trade for moonshine today
There’s a party up ahead, an angel to my right, I took my hand and brushed her cheek, when I caught her eye I told her:

[Chorus]
You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl we will dance this night away
We will dance the night away

[Verse 2]
Cross the river hit the La line she didn't see it cause she reads all the way
Band was playing by the time we arrived she couldn't help but smile when she heard that fiddle play
She’d start to move, underneath that moon light, you know she felt alive
That's when I knew, that brown eyed girl was mine, the way she held me tight and told me:

[Chorus]
You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl we will dance this night away
We will dance the night away
[Verse 4]
Party died but left our souls alive so we walked down to the dock beneath the stars
The sun was sinking but my heart would rise as I felt my shaking knee hit that wooden deck floor
I asked her lifetime no less, and no more, she said my lifetime I’m yours forevermore, took her hand to tell her:

[Chorus]
You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl we will dance this night
We will dance this life
Cause you and I will dance this night away
We will dance the night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl we will dance this life
We will dance this life away
We will dance the night away
We will dance this night away
