Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
Dancing in the dark
Till the tune ends
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder
Of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love
To brighten up the night
I have you, love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What though love is old?
What though song is old?
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we’re one!
Dancing in the dark
Till the tune ends
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder
Of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love
To brighten up the night
I have you, love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
