We Danced the Tango

We danced the tango
Down in La Plata
We drank the deepest red wine
We danced the tango
I was the gringo
The lady didn’t mind

The moment I saw her
I had to be near her
She was sent from a prayer
A beautiful lady
I still remember
She had a rose in her hair

We danced the tango
Down in La Plata
We drank the deepest red wine
We danced the tango
I was the gringo
The lady didn’t mind

I see her standing
Out on the balcony
Overlooking the town
Turning, she gave me
The smile she still gives me
Sunrise was her dressing gown
