The swirling of dresses,
the scuffing of shoes-
"should my hair be in tresses?"
"what tie do i choose?"-
as the hall fills with dancers,
and the strings start to sound-
we will take that first step,
and we won?t touch the ground-
(chorus)
for there?s only the music,
that plays on and on-
yes, there?s only the music,
the heartaches are gone-
we can stand close together,
while the world dances by-
"cause there?s only the music,
between you and i-
yes, there?s only the music,
between you and i
A head on a shoulder,
an arm ?round a waist,
if the weather gets colder,
we both will be braced-
for what-ever the trouble,
we still have a chance-
if we hold hands together,
and take time to dance-
(chorus)
The clock hours bending,
the hands spinning ?round-
from beginning to ending,
as dancers we?re bound-
with the memories like treasures,
all safe in their vaults-
when we hear the last measures,
we?ll dance the grand waltz-
(chorus)
(chorus)
