Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
What though love is old
What though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Make yous part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we're one
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 gone t
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
The song "Dancing in the Dark" by Fred Astaire is a beautiful ode to love and dancing. The lyrics describe the experience of dancing with a loved one in the dark, lost in the moment and in each other's company. The waltz that they dance is a symbol of the wonder and mystery of life, and the lyrics reflect a sense of gratitude for the time they have together.
The first verse suggests that the couple is dancing in the darkness of the night, lost in the joy of the music. The line "time hurries by, we're here and gone" suggests that they are aware of the fleeting nature of life and are savoring the moment. The second verse suggests that the couple is looking for a new love to brighten up their lives, but they have found each other and can "face the music together." The chorus repeats the phrase "dancing in the dark" three times, emphasizing the joy and beauty of moving together in the darkness.
Ultimately, the song is a celebration of human connection, love, and the beauty of life. It reminds us to savor the present moment and find joy in the beauty that surrounds us.

I have the original 2 vinyll set on Verve. It never gets old. Everyone on this presented song are musicians that I ABSOLUTELY love. Including a “Fast Of Foot” singer named Fred. Just great stuff. ❤
