I Want To Go Out Dancing

The sands of time may fall around me But I won't drown myself in sorrow My knees may disagree with what I'm going to say But since I may not see tomorrow I will talk and sing about it anyway The clock may say my time is ticking Y puede ser que sea cierto My back may give a nod and shout I'm way too old But till the day you find me muerto I intend to keep my soul from getting cold Though body's fading My spirit knows what to do Keep my song playing Till Heaven says "here's your cue." I want to go out dancing Burning the floor, and glancing At all those moments we shared together And all the things I must leave behind I want to go out dancing To the trombón enhancing The beautiful times when life was kind The lessons I learned when love was blind I want to go out dancing I'm moving on, advancing And if I see angels it's too late to change my mind They're waving hi, the gates are open wide! I want to go out dancing And I don't want to see long faces Just let me go in celebration Don't dress in black and cry you wish we had more time Don't bring me lilies and carnations Lay me down with laughter, music and a rhyme Play Héctor Lavoe and sing louder! Let's dance another round of salsa My bones are breaking down I'm sure to close my eyes But though mi cuerpo here descansa It's my soul the one that's dancing through the sky Though heart is failing Still, it holds memories of you So keep music playing Till Heaven says "here's your cue." I want to go out dancing Burning the floor, and glancing At all those moments we shared together And all the things and the friends I must leave behind And I want to go out dancing To the trombón enhancing The beautiful times when life was kind When love was blind, but we kept on trying! Pa' la familia con alegría Pa' los amigos siempre aquí conmigo Y pa' todos aquellos que ya se han ido ¡Jamás los olvido! Quiero morir bailando Sobre el cielo azul Ir donde los ángeles Cantan la gloria de mi vida Irme de aquí cantando Sobre el cielo azul Prender un lucero Decirle que quiero Que me ilumine la salida Quiero morir bailando Volando sobre el cielo azul Deja que llegue bien pegadito Junto a los amigos Que están hoy conmigo Quiero morir bailando Sobre el cielo azul For all those moments we shared together And all the things we'll love forever Quiero morir bailando Sobre este cielo azul Irme volando, salir cantando Vivir gozando hasta que lleguemos al final Y mi alma perdurará En este cielo azul Quiero morir bailando Irme de aquí cantando I want to go out Please let me go out It's time to go out I have to go out I want to go out Dancing, and singing Volando por el cielo azul I want to go out dancing
