The swirling of dresses,

the scuffing of shoes-

"Should my hair be in tresses?"

"What tie do I choose?"-

As the hall fills with dancers,

and the strings start to sound-

We will take that first step,

and we won?t touch the ground-

(chorus)

For there?s only the music,

that plays on and on-

Yes, there?s only the music,

the heartaches are gone-

We can stand close together,

while the world dances by-

"Cause there?s only the music,

between you and I-

Yes, there?s only the music,

between you and I

A head on a shoulder,

an arm ?round a waist,

If the weather gets colder,

we both will be braced-

For what-ever the trouble,

we still have a chance-

If we hold hands together,

and take time to dance-

(chorus)

The clock hours bending,

the hands spinning ?round-

From beginning to ending,

as dancers we?re bound-

With the memories like treasures,

all safe in their vaults-

When we hear the last measures,

we?ll dance the grand waltz-

(chorus)

(chorus)
