Dance Forever
Cheryl Ladd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we first met
We danced by the light of the evening
Held each other tighter
As the evening grew lighter and lighter
Morning came
And it just couldn't stop us from dancing
You danced me home singing
It's four in the morning

I want to dance forever
Dance forever
Let's take a starry flight
And dance by the light of the moon
Then we can dance forever
Dance forever
Let's stay up through the night
And dance by the light of the moon

Out on the streets
Our hearts play a beat
For our dancing desires
The city's in bed
We knew in our heads
We could never tire
Uptown and down
All around
We were found dancing
How could we part?
When we knew in our hearts
It was love

I want to dance forever
Dance forever
Let's take a starry flight
And dance by the light of the moon
Then we can dance forever
Dance forever
Let's stay up through the night
And dance by the light of the moon

Uptown and down
All around
We were found dancing
How could we part?
When we knew in our hearts
It was love

I want to dance forever
Dance forever
Let's take a starry flight
And dance by the light of the moon
Then we can dance forever
Dance forever
Let's stay up through the night
And dance by the light of the moon.
