Lyrics
Tap Dancing On A Highwire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bright lights and funny clowns
Hammin' it up on the circus grounds
Horses, big parade
Such a pretty sight, this love we made
From way up here, life's just a ball
With you by my side, love is worth the fall
(Chorus)
So we're tap dancing on a highwire
We could go tumbling down
But something makes me want to higher
Think it's having you around
Oh, get a look at us playing with fire
Oh, we're tap dancing on a highwire
Big applause, from the crowd of there
Watching our hearts hang in mid-air
No strings and no fear
Keeps our love suspended up here
We know we could lose our balance and fall
But a haert that don't dance
Ain't a real haert at all
(Chorus)
