When You Dance I Can Really Love
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you dance
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?

I've got something to tell you, you make it show
Let me come over, I know you know
When you dance I can really love

I can love, I can really love, I can really love
I can love, I can really love, I can really love

Like a mountain that's growing a river that rolls
Let me come over, I know you know
When you dance I can really love

When you dance
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?

I've got something to tell you, you make it show




Let me come over, I know you know
When you dance I can really love
