Another obscure, but classic Doo Wop song

Ask any oldies lover to name one song by a group called The Dreamlovers and I'll bet you a case of your favorite beer that they will reply - "When We Get Married" - one of the few hits by this group to chart in the weekly Top 100. In my humble opinion, their best song was: "While We Were Dancing". Candidly, it was not until 2004 that I discovered this song on a British MP3 oldies website. Needless to say, I tracked down a CD containing the greatest hits of the Dreamlovers in order to own a righteous copy of the recording. The melodies of most Dreamlover songs incorporate a unique "bubbling sound" that could be considered a signature sound to their musical accompaniment. It makes it easy to pick out Dreamlover songs from the rest. The words of this song recall the memories of a 50's sock hop, the last slow dance of the night:


While We Were Dancing
The Dreamlovers

While we were dancing . . . I couldn't say a word . . .
And through the music was a song to be heard.

I held you closer . . . and my heart was a glow . . .
Something inside of me whispered ask her - her name.

We danced around the floor in splender . . .
Each moment was all such a thrill . . .
This night I'll always remember . . .
And if you don't . . . I always will.

They sang as we danced . . . and the night was so blissful,
And you lips were so kissable . . . darling while . . .
While we were dancing . . .

While we were dancing . . . while we . . .were dancing.
