DANCE TO YOU

I can’t stop listening

to this tape you played me on

The night you whispered

Take my hand, let’s pretend we’re in love

Well now I’m all alone

in everything I do

But when I dance

I dance to you

I watched you crawl in

making paper fly

You called it falling

in the song that I wanted to write

If you could see me now

playing my own tunes

Still, when I dance

I dance to you

I had a dream

you wanted me

and I let you lie

But even then

it had to end,

meant for a night

‘Cause I can’t grow

inside your glow

and I’d rather be an artist

than his wife

Don’t think I’ll miss you

when you finally slip my mind

and I start listening

to new songs with new sounds and new times

But if you caught my eye

and smiled across the room

Well then I’d dance

I’d dance to you

I had a dream

you wanted me

and I let you lie

But even then

it had to end,

meant for a night

‘Cause I can’t grow

inside your glow

and I’d rather be an artist

than his wife

But if you caught my eye

and smiled across the room

well then I’d dance—

I’d dance to you
