Verse 1 Wake in the morning sun is shining There is magic in the air Feels like i am dreaming and it make me wanna sing yeah Verse 2 The way we swayed beneath the moonlight The way you held me oh so tight Your beauty's so delightful and it makes me wanna sing Pre-Chorus Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Chorus Lets go driving down the freeway Feel the wind blow through our hair Leave our worries all behind us We can dance the night away Verse 3 Lets not waste another minute Or let another slip away Make it last forever hold on tighht and say Pre-Chorus I Do Do Do Do, I Do Do Do Do, I Do Do Do Do Chorus Lets go driving down the freeway Feel the wind blow through our hair Leave our worries all behind us We can dance the night away Instrumental Outro Do Do Do Do

about

The first single from his debut solo album finds Shannon Smith in a melodic pop-soul frame of mind, sounding something like Van Morrison in an especially good mood.

Dance The Night Away is also part of a singles project with his partner Helen Townsend, and as such is a toast to the first flush of romance. It’s the giddy feeling that comes with newfound love - ‘Let’s go driving down the freeway/Feel the wind blow through our hair/Leave our worries all behind us/We can dance the night away’.

Spring is in the air and in his step and you can just feel the energy in the recording studio as the band vibes on the groove and the keyboards and horns flavour the song with soulful flourishes. Ain’t love grand? Sure sounds like it here.
