Dance
Roses And Reveries Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
I know that if you were right here
I'd be dancing on your feet

People around me don't seem to notice
I'm close to giving up, I'm breathless
A voice inside my head grows stronger
There's more for me left to say, this ain't over

If someone was here I wouldn't have to dance alone
But it don't matter 'cause I'm good at play-pretend
And if you are a dream, then I will never fall asleep
'Cause why would I want a taste of something I could never have

So I just dance alone
Oh I just dance alone
That's why you see me dancing
So now you know why I'm dancing

And I count all the words in my head
So that they can fit in that phrase that you said
A bunch of letters are slipping out
They form a sound as they hit the ground

So in a melody I found comfort
From all the noise that exists in your world
And then I play it so loud, I'm screaming
It's all a game in my head when I'm dreaming

If someone was here I wouldn't have to dance alone
But it don't matter 'cause I'm good at play pretend
And if you are a dream, then I will never fall asleep
'Cause why would I want a taste of something I could never have

So I'll just dance alone
Oh I'll just dance alone
That's why you see me dancing
So now you know why I'm dancing... alone

So now you know why I'm dancing
So now you know why I'm dancing




So now you know why I'm dancing
So now you know why I'm dancing... alone

Ma mândresc cu compozitorul nostru Eugeniu Doga!👍 Un vals de milioane! Fără egal!

@user-xe4xj8su9h

Слушая и видя клип…. Замирает сердце от счастья…
Мне 65….. но помню свой первый вальс в школьном вечере, где никто не танцевал … , а меня пригласил на такой вальс парень, тарше меня на два года( ему 16 , а мне 14)……
Это было неожиданно и так прекрасно.!!!
Мы кружил. В вальсе под очарованные взгляды всех !!!!
Мне даже моя учительница сказала- такое бывает раз в жизни!!!

И этот вальс действительно оказался самым счастливым в духовном и любовном смысле моей жизни. Было много встречи и расставаний….
Но этот вальс первой любви помню как сейчас!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
