Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you,
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my hearts calling to

Trying to smile, once in a while,
But I find it so hard to do.
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes,
'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you

Line by Line Meaning

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
I am weeping while I dance


'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you,
The girl I am dancing with is not you


Dancing with somebody new
I am dancing with someone I have not danced with before


When it's you that my hearts calling to
My heart is yearning for you


Trying to smile, once in a while,
I attempt to smile occasionally


But I find it so hard to do.
Smiling is difficult for me


For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes,
I am still crying as I dance


'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you
The girl I am dancing with still isn't you
