Lyrics One Beat At a time - Kim Carnes

No sad songs
No tears for you
Don't even have to sleep
With the light on
I can see alright
No Coltrane
No midnight blue
No letters of regret
No poems
No wine
No cigarettes
To remind me of you
I'll take these shoes
Outside the door
Take this heartache
Right up on the floor
I'm dancin' twirlin'
All by myself
Every heartache unwinds
One beat at a time
I'm risin' high as the sky
I wanna trust someone
Let my hair fall down
In the fading sun
Won't let tonight
Pass me by
I'll take this pain
Behind the door
Take this heartache
Right out on the floor
I'm dancin' twirlin'
All by myself
Every heartache unwinds
One beat at a time
(Instrumental)
I'm dancin' twirlin'
All by myself
Every heartache unwinds
One beat at a time.
