Dancing In The Dark
Schwartz Lyrics
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 lyrics of Schwartz's song "Dancing in the Dark" convey a sense of fleeting moments of joy and longing for love. The opening lines, "Dancin' in the dark 'til the tune ends, We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends," suggest that the singer is fully immersed in the present moment, enjoying the dance and the company, but also aware that it won't last forever.
The next line, "We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here," adds a touch of contemplation, as the characters in the song reflect on the purpose and meaning of their existence. Time is mentioned as a passing element, indicating that life is transient, and moments slip away quickly.
The lyrics then express a desire for love as a source of light, stating "Lookin' for the light of a new love, To brighten up the night, I have you love." This reveals a longing for a new romantic connection that can bring happiness and brightness into the singer's life.
The phrase "And we can face the music together" conveys a sense of unity and strength that comes from facing life's challenges as a couple. It implies that with love and support, obstacles can be overcome, and the couple can navigate through life's ups and downs.
The final repetition of the chorus, "Dancin' in the dark," reinforces the ephemeral nature of the moments of joy and happiness, suggesting that life is often filled with uncertainty and shadows. However, it also hints at the possibility of finding solace and joy in the fleeting moments, even in the midst of darkness.

Beautiful version of Dancing in the Dark made the scene with Fred and Cyd even more spectacular than it already was.

J'adore cette musique d'une élégance folle que l'on retrouve dans un film avec Fred Astaire et Cyd Charisse en train de danser dans un parc à New York.

Che meraviglia
@GianMarcoTavazzani
Sometime I ask myself if there's not something that I add to something already beautiful like this to make it FOR ME, deep inside me even more beautiful than it can be for someone else, in other words if my 'soul' doesn't 'compose, play, interpret' in an active way what I listen, to touch and move 'just me' as nobody else can ever be.
"Memories?" you could ask but no, it don't belongs to my past... as long as I know, I can't honestly find any link to my life but, when I heard it and I searched for the dancing scene of Cyd and Fred, it was as I ever knew it, as it was indeed part of my life, belonging to me by ever.. what a wonder music can do!
