Music To My Ears

You'd get up to dance, while I’d stay rooted in my seat
You’d sway to the rhythm, and I’d just smile and tap my feet
Across the crowded dance floor, your eyes and mine would meet
I could see that you were laughing, at a joke I couldn’t hear
Whatever made you happy was music to my ears
I never cared for disco, you always hated rock and roll
I said I liked what you liked, but pretending took its toll
Just knowing you were happy was a warm bath for my soul
I think you always knew that dancing left me bored to tears
Whatever entertained you was music to my ears
You still go out dancing, but these days I get left at home
You don't need a partner, you can line dance on your own
You do what you have to, I’m used to being alone
You go to your Zumba class, I’ll crack another beer
Whatever keeps you happy is music to my ears
You deserve a medal for putting up with me for all these years
Whatever makes you happy is still music to my ears
