Dancing In The Dark
Bobby Tucker Singers/Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancin' in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here, and we're gone
Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What though love is old
What though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancin' in the dark




Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark

Overall Meaning

In Frank Sinatra's "Dancing in the Dark", the lyrics depict a scene of two individuals dancing in the dark until the tune ends. The song highlights the idea that regardless of how old love or music might be, they have the power to make people feel young again. The mention of a new love in the lyrics suggests the possibility of the two individuals falling in love while dancing together. The lyrics also mention the fleeting nature of time and how it hurries by, leaving us here one moment, and gone the next.


However, Frank Sinatra's version of "Dancing in the Dark" was actually a cover of an original song written by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz for the 1931 Broadway musical "The Band Wagon". Sinatra's version of the song was released in 1953 as part of his album "The Music of Vincent Youmans". Sinatra's cover of the song was a very successful commercial hit and became one of his most popular songs. The song was also featured in the 1953 MGM musical film "The Band Wagon", where it was performed by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse.
