lyrics

THIS DANCE I DO WITH YOU

Kiss me, that is unless you don’t want to
I’ll kiss you, but I’ll refrain if I must
Until later when both of us feel it
It might take some steps to get through
Little steps in the dance I do with you

And it’s good
When it’s good
I wouldn’t trade it for anything

Morning, it seems you have no use for me
That’s okay, because I’ve made my plans too
So call me, or I’ll call you later
We’ll talk about how we’re both feeling blue
The dips and the slides in the dance I do with you

And it’s good
When it’s good
I wouldn’t trade it for anything

Way up, the gods lean from clouds
And they point, smile, at silly things that we do
Shakespeare is hanging loose at the bar
But he’s scribbling all our words down
He’s going to pretty ‘em up and give ‘em to the clown

So…
Let’s keep on doing this forever and forever
They’ll take mercy on us and turn us into stars
Twinkling in heaven, sometimes at each other
And then disappearing from view

There’s Mars and there’s Venus and then
There’s this dance I do with you

And it’s good
When it’s good

So…
Let’s keep on doing this forever and forever
They’ll take mercy on us and turn us into stars
Twinkling in heaven, sometimes at each other
And then disappearing from view

There’s Mars and there’s Venus and then
There’s this dance I do with you
This dance I do with you
