Lyrics
This Dance
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.
This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.
I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would be such a shame not to give us the chance.
And, oh my love
There is only so many dances
We can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
I know at times that you feel alone
when I'm here and I'm never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.
On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.
And, oh my love
There is only so many dances
We can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
And oh....
oh...oh...
This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it's moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.
So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.
