Hardwood Floors
Charles Wesley Godwin Lyrics

Four feet move down the line
Synchronized in perfect time
And for once my blues have past
I can feel them fading behind
In your eyes they look in mine
Reading what lies behind
It's just love, honey, don't you mind
Everything will be just fine

Let's warm up these hardwood floors
And tonight I'll see you spin around
Take my hand, honey, let's just dance
And pretend there ain't nobody else in town
And tonight there ain't nobody else around
And tonight there ain't nobody else in town, no

The moments he has a little life
He lives and breathes like a soul
Here and now it breathes in us
Livin' on 'til we're old
Until we're old

Let's warm up these hardwood floors
And tonight I'll see you spin around
Take my hand, honey, let's just dance
And pretend there ain't nobody else in town
And tonight there ain't nobody else around
And tonight there ain't nobody else in town

Let's warm up these hardwood floors
And tonight I'll see you spin around
Take my hand, honey, let's just dance
And pretend there ain't nobody else in town

And tonight there ain't nobody else around
And tonight there ain't nobody else in town, oh

In "Hardwood Floors," Charles Wesley Godwin is singing to his lover, urging her to put on the blue dress he loves and dance with him. He notes that he has missed her and that thoughts of her give him hope, even though they are physically separated by state lines. As they dance, he feels the weight of his blues fading behind him, and looks into her eyes, reading what lies behind them. He assures her that everything will be fine, and they dance on, lost in the moment.

This song is a beautiful depiction of the power of love and the way it can transcend time and distance. Godwin's longing for his lover is palpable in the lyrics, and the image of the two dancing together on the hardwood floors creates a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Go put on that blue dress
Get dressed up in that blue dress that you know I love so much

The one you know I love the best
I love it when you wear that dress, it's my favorite

Don't mind me, I'll stay down here
I'll sit back and watch you from here

So I can watch you stridin' down the steps
I love watching you walk down the steps in that dress

I missed you more than you know
I've been missing you a lot and you probably don't even realize it

It seems like we're always fightin' time
We're always struggling to find time for each other

Thoughts of you on nights like these
When I'm alone, I often think of you

Give me hope while across state lines
Thinking about you gives me hope even when we're far apart

Four feet move down the line
We're dancing together, moving in sync

Synchronized in perfect time
We're moving together perfectly

And for once my blues have past
I don't feel sad anymore, not when I'm with you like this

I can feel them fading behind
My sadness is disappearing as we dance together

In your eyes they look in mine
I see my own reflection and my love for you reflected in your eyes

Reading what lies behind
We can see everything that's between us, all our feelings and emotions

It's just love, honey, don't you mind
All we need is love, and nothing else matters

Everything will be just fine
As long as we have each other and our love, everything will work out

The moments he has a little life
Our time together is brief, but it's full of life and joy

He lives and breathes like a soul
Our love is a living, breathing thing that fills us both with happiness

Here and now it breathes in us
As we dance together, our love is alive and present in this moment

Livin' on 'til we're old
Our love will keep us alive and happy for the rest of our lives

Let's warm up these hardwood floors
Let's dance together and enjoy this moment

And tonight I'll see you spin around
I love watching you dance and spin around in that dress

Take my hand, honey, let's just dance
Hold my hand and dance with me, let's forget about everything else

And pretend there ain't nobody else in town
Let's imagine that we're the only two people here and enjoy this moment together

And tonight there ain't nobody else around
We're all alone together and that's just the way we want it

And tonight there ain't nobody else in town, no
It's just us, nobody else matters but you and me
