Love At The Five & Dime

In the style of

Kathy Mattea

Lyrics

rita was sixteen years
hazel eyes and
chestnut hair
she made the woolworth
counter shine

and eddie was a
sweet romancer
and a darn good dancer
and they'd waltz the
aisles of the five-and-dime

now eddie played
the steel guitar
and his mama cried
'cause he played in the bars
he kept young rita
out late at night

so they married
up in abilene
lost a child in tennessee
oh and still that
love survived

'cause they'd sing
dance a little
closer to me
dance a little closer now
dance a little
closer tonight

dance a little closer to me
'cause it's closin'
time and love's on
sale tonight
at this five-and-dime

one of the boys
in eddie's band
took a shine to rita's hand
so eddie ran off
with the bassman's wife

oh but he was back by june
singin' a different tune
and sportin' miss
rita back by his side

and he sang
dance a little
closer to me
dance a little closer now
dance a little
closer tonight

dance a little closer to me
'cause it's closin'
time and love's on
sale tonight
at this five-and-dime

eddie traveled with
a barroom band
till arthritis took his hands
now he sells insurance
on the side

and rita's got a house to keep
dime-store novels
and love so sweet
they dance to the
radio late at night
and they sing

dance a little
closer to me
dance a little closer now
dance a little
closer tonight

dance a little closer to me
'cause it's closin'
time and love's on
sale tonight
at this five-and-dime

dance a little
closer to me
dance a little closer now
dance a little
closer tonight

dance a little closer to me
'cause it's closin'
time and love's on
sale tonight
at this five-and-dime
