Red Shoes

"Put on your red shoes and dance the blues" is a line out of David Bowie's song "Let's Dance".

 

"Let's Dance" is the title song from Bowie's 1983 album of the same name. It was also released as the first single from that album in 1983, and went on to become one of his biggest-selling tracks. Stevie Ray Vaughan played the guitar solo at the end of the song.

 

David Robert Jones (1947 - 2016) known as David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter, musician, actor and record producer.

 

He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, and was considered by critics and musicians as an innovator with a fantastic career marked by musical reinvention and creative visual presentation.

 

Let's dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let's dance

To the songs playin' on the radio

 

Let's sway

While colour lights up your face

Let's sway

Sway through the crowd to an empty space

 

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

 

Let's dance

For fear your grace should fall

Let's dance

For fear tonight is all

 

Let's sway

You could look into my eyes

Let's sway

Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

 

And if you say run, I'll run with you

And if you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

 

Let's dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let's dance

Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

 

Lets Dance, Lets Dance, Lets Dance (Fade)
