A buddy of mine was having a rough patch going on - trouble with his teen son, work aggravation and dealing with a rocky relationship - so I decided to make him a mix cd of feel good, make one laugh songs and gave it to him.

So, I made the cd and gave it to him. One of the songs I put on there was the upbeat sounding Dance the Night Away by The Mavericks.

One day while driving to work that song came up and guess what? Yep, I paid attention to the lyrics of the song that I put on a cd for a buddy who was having the relationship issues....

Below are the lyrics to Dance the Night Away and a good lesson....just because of song sounds upbeat doesn't mean it necessarily is so.....

Here comes my happiness again Right back to where it should have been 'Cause now she's gone and I am free And she can't do a thing to me

I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her Please let her know that I'm well As you can tell And if she should tell you That she wants me back Tell her no I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her Please let her know that I'm well As you can tell

And if she should tell you That she wants me back Tell her no I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light

I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light
