Tip Toe Tango
music by Andrew Potter
lyrics by Wheeler Cole
©2019 cole/potter music

Late at night
You hold the ladder tight … 
against your bedroom window sill
sneak sneak sneak
while your Momma and your Poppa sleep

down by the willow tree
you shyly creep with me   
Where only stars can see
come dance the tip toe tango with me …

Do you by chance,
know where you learned to dance?
girl like you sure can move so fine.
with only the moon
doing the singing this time.

there’s nothing between the night
and your kisses holding me tight 
fireflies sparkle with glee
Come do the Tip Toe Tango with me …

I know you sometimes feel
that fairies are real
as we tango in the moonlight 
Skin like cream a Midsummer’s Dream
Let’s dance the tip toe all night

all goes to show
what your Momma does know
but might not remember from back when she was young
but since you’re here tonight
we know she did the tango alright
