You would take me in your arms and hold me tightly
We would move across the floor as smooth as glass
And everyone would stare, whisper, "What a perfect pair"
And we knew somehow the time would never pass
And I thought that we could stay this way for always
We were partners in perpetual romance
In the kitchen, in the hall, for no reason there at all
We would catch each other's eyes and we would dance
And I promised you that children wouldn't change things
And you swore that you would want me till you died
There was love and there was laughter
And the words "forever after"
And neither of us thought we were telling a lie
Now the dreams and all the days that held such promise
Seem to fade away like shadows in a trance
As we live the day to day we get lost along the way
And somehow we've forgotten how to dance
Why can't I just accept that things are changing?
Open up my hand and let them go?
But the pieces of my heart keep rearranging
And something deep inside me keeps on saying no
I want them back, the days when everything was possible
Before we settled down to comfortable despair
To remember what romance is
Making love and taking chances
But most of all, most of all
I wanna dance
I wanna dance
Hey, don't you want to dance?
