I was seven years old, he was holding my hand
So we walked in the gym, he could tell I was scared
Said, "You can pretend it's just you and me"
So I closed my eyes and I stood on his feet

And he said, dance like no one's watchin'
Whatever you do
And if life gives you love, fall in
But always be you
Oh, 'cause, girl, it's a big world
And it's so easy to get lost in
So dance like no one's watchin'
Oh, no, no

He taped up the last box and he shut the trunk
Said, "Go have a ball, just don't drink too much"
You should be there by dark, you're an hour ahead
Let us know you got there and never forget

Oh, to dance like no one's watchin'
Whatever you do
And if life gives you love, fall in
But always be you
Oh, 'cause, girl, it's a big world
And it's so easy to get lost in
So dance like no one's watchin'
Oh, no

I can't believe that you picked this song
You can hold it together, just don't look at mom
It's just like we practiced back at the house
Use those two left feet, spin me around

Daddy, dance like no one's watchin'
Whatever you do
And if life gives you love, then fall in
But always be you
Oh, I know it's a big world
And it's so easy to get lost in
So dance like no one's watchin' Writer/s: Emily Lynn Weisband, James McNair, Luke Albert Combs
