He holds her close so perfectly,
They sail across the floor,
And as they dance as one I know,
He couldn't love her more.

I see the fire deep within,
A passion lost to one another,
Yes, I know they could never,
Dance like this with any other.

Chorus
The dance it leaves you wanting,
It leaves you needing, yet never knowing,
What it is that you desire,
An endless aching, ever growing.

The dance it leaves you with a hope,
That you might forget your sorrow.
Perhaps if you dance long enough,
You may find dreams to borrow.

He kisses her once upon the lips,
I feel her tender sigh.
All I can do is walk away,
Before they see me cry.

I am standing on the outside looking in,
On the heaven which I once had with him.
For I can remember dancing, too,
And loving life like them.
