Too many souls are lost,
so many dreams lie broken
Will you try to help them
chase the night away,
turn on the booming silver day
We do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime,
make the moment suit the time,
we make the rescue fit the crime
And feel each passing year
absorb the well of tears
They shoot horses, don't they?
So we dance and sway
into the pulsing, silver grey
We do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime,
make the moment suit the time,
we make the rescue fit the crime
So many people fail,
so many hearts are broken
We come to live with pain,
we leave our arms wide open
We do it in swing time
Too many fights are thrown,
we count the cost of it growing
Will you try to stop them,
roll away the night,
break out the champagne, hit the lights
We do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime,
make the moment suit the time,
we make the rescue fit the crime
(solo)
We do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime,
make the moment suit the time,
we make the rescue fit the crime
We do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime,
make the moment suit the time,
we make the rescue fit the crime
We do it in swingtime,
we do it in swingtime,
we don't count the skinny seconds
passing by or wonder why
We do it in swingtime
