Dancing
John Bucchino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who could believe I'd feel
all of the things Im feeling?
This emotional glow
I've imagine it, though
I couldn't place the time or face.
Now yours is the face I see.
Shining in expectation
of more parties, more lights,
and a thousand more nights of...
Dancing!
I can hardly believe
we were dancing on
"The Hill"!
Happy
to be dancing together until
our hearts stood still.
I'm not afraid of time,
now that I have these mem'ries.
And I'll always recall
that the best thing of all was...
Dancing!
With my hair in the breeze
I was free of ev'ry care!
Happy
to be lifted and held in midair
and laughing there.
Who could not feel the joy
waltzing in ev'ry moment?
Ev'ry color and sound
on this merry go round
I never knew I'd felt so few
till I let myself chance




this evening of dancing with
you.
