Because the night is meant for dance I put myself into a trance I dream of you, a lost romance To make the night go faster, faster When the sun sets A sadness swaying in my chest A single last slow dancer in her head I close my eyes and hear a waltz I try to make the longing stop I picture your lips counting off Our feet follow behind Because the night is meant for dance I put myself into a trance I dream of you, a lost romance I hate the moonlight in new places Lonely and heavy memories it Lingers like a gymnast on a beam That isn't steady I'm waiting for some sort of sign Someone to tell me i'm alive Someone to look me in the eyes And dance with me forever Because the night is meant for dance I put myself into a trance I dream of you, a lost romance
