[Verse 1]
You came in laughing, silver shoes
A little tilt to your midnight blues
I caught your eye by the coat-check line
You said, “One dance,” and I said, “Fine”

[Pre-Chorus]
The room turned easy, the floor took flight
You spun me once and the hour felt right

[Chorus]
Come on, let the good times carry us
Step by step, no need to hurry us
When the morning finds us, we’ll still be smiling
Come on, let the good times carry us

[Verse 2]
Your red scarf slipped; I held it near
You told me stories I could barely hear
We missed the last train, we didn’t mind
Found a little diner still open down the line

[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee was bitter, your grin was sweet
You tapped the table, keeping time with your feet

[Chorus]
Come on, let the good times carry us
Step by step, no need to hurry us
When the morning finds us, we’ll still be smiling
Come on, let the good times carry us

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
If this night folds up like a photograph
I’ll keep the corner where you wrote your name
And when that old refrain comes back around
I’ll find you laughing in that crowded room again

[Final Chorus]
Come on, let the good times carry us
Step by step, no need to hurry us
When the morning finds us, we’ll still be smiling
Come on, let the good times carry us
Come on, let the good times carry us

[Outro]
One more turn, one more smile
Stay with me a little while
