Well, is this love?
Formed in the heart of the sun
Raised from the dust of our days
Learned from the error of our ways
Oh, is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Well I know you're a dancer
So take hold of my hand
The world's smiling now
Well, is this love?
Or are we just having fun?
Are you waiting just for me
Out where the heavens meet the sea?
Oh, I knew it when we met
And time stood still
A light in the dark of the world
Well I know you're a dancer
Just take hold of my hand
The world's smiling now
What a gift for today
But will it always remain?
How long does a good thing last?
Can we avoid mistakes from the past?
Oh, and what if it dies?
Just disappears from your eyes
Well you don't have to answer
Just take hold of my hand
The world's smiling now
Well I know you're a dancer
Just take hold of my hand
The world's smiling now
Oh, is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Oh, is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Oh, is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Oh, is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Oh, is this love, is this love?
Oh, is this love, is this love?
