I Wish You Could Have Seen Her Dance (2006 Remastered) - T Bone Burnett

作词：T-Bone Burnett

作曲：T-Bone Burnett

She wore a low cut black satin dress

Slit up the front and down the back

She wore black high heeled shoes

With laces that went up her ankles

She wore black velvet gloves

With rhinestone bracelets around them

She had long blond hair

She had long blond hair

Long blond hair

Long blond hair

And she sat on the jukebox with one leg propped up

And a crowd of boys gathered 'round her

And one tried to kiss her

But she turned her face

And I wish you could have seen her dance

The way she soared across the floor

I wish you could have seen her dance

She did a pirouette and then a kung fu step

I wish you could have seen her dance

The way she threw her hair through the air

And I wish you could have seen her dance

I asked her

Do you come here often

She said

I've never been here before

I asked her

Her name and she said

They call me kim boston in england

And kim english in boston and also in dallas

I said

How did you like dallas

She said

It was just like ireland

Except the wells don't look like wishing wells

And I wish you could have seen her dance

The way she soared across the floor

I wish you could have seen her dance

She did the flavo and the tango and the flamenco

I wish you could have seen her dance

The way she threw her hair through the air

And I wish you could have seen her dance

I asked

Are you an actress

She said

No

But do you think I'm good enough

She said

You look like you belong on

Monty python

Eric idle

She said

Do you wanna know what I do for work

I said

Sure

She had long blond hair

I said

Alright

She had long blond hair

She said

I'm a maid and a dancer

I've danced for three rock bands

And one of the bands

Even wrote a song about me

And I wish you could have seen her dance

I wish you could have seen her dance

I wish you could have seen her

Wish you could have seen her

Wish you could have seen her dance
