Dancing In The Dark
Michael Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing in the dark
All at a time
Dancing in the dark
All at a time

Dancing in the dark
Anybody sin my baby
See him dancing on the floor
All at a time
I don't mind

Find your river
Make my dreams come true
Throw away all pains
Make a wish upon you

Swim in a wishing well
Deep into your charms




Gather all my dreams to be
Naked in your arms

The line "Swim in a wishing well" could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking a risk and going after what you want, even if it seems impossible.
