Dance into my life, only for a while
Whirl me round and round
Dance me like an angel child
He’s passing through my world
He doesn’t even know
Time’s not on my side
No word or goodbye, I’ll go

So dance on, right now I want to dance on
Until the moment’s over
And I’ll be going home
(I’ll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can’t let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance into my life
Hold the moment fast
Make believe in us
Nothing real in life can last dance within my life
Dance me to the door
I can’t see the time, but the time has come for sure

So dance on, right now I want to dance on
Until the moment’s over
And I’ll be going home
(I’ll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can’t let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance with me, dance with me
Won’t you dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
Won’t you dance with me

So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment’s over
And I’ll be going home
(I’ll be going home)
So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment’s over
And I’ll be going home
