We were dancing

from Tonight at 8.30: We were dancing

 
Verse I        If you can
                   Imagine my embarrassment when you politely asked me to
                   explain
                   Man to man,
                   I cannot help but feel conventional apologies are all in vain.
                   You must see.
                   We've stepped into a dream that's set us free,
                   Don't think we planned it,
                   Please understand it.
 
Refrain I      We were dancing
                   And the gods must have found it entrancing
                   For they smiled
                   On a moment undefiled
                   By the care and woe
                   That mortals know.
                   We were dancing
                   And the music and lights were enhancing
                   Our desire,
                   When the world caught on fire,
                   She and I were dancing.
 
Verse 2        Love lay in wait for us,
                   Twisted our fate for us,
                   No one warned us,
                   Reason scorned us,
                   Time stood still
                   In that first strange thrill.
                   Destiny knew of us,
                   Guided the two of us,
                   How could we
                   Refuse to see
                   That wrong seemed right,
                   On this lyrical enchanted night?
                   Logic supplies no laws for it,
                   Only one cause for it.
 
Refrain 2      We were dancing
                   And the gods must have found it entrancing
                   For they smiled
                   On a moment undefiled
                   By the care and woe
                   That mortals know.
                   We were dancing
                   And the music and lights were enhancing
                   Our desire,
                   When the world caught on fire,
                   She and I were dancing.
