We were dancing to a tune,a tune I’d heard before
We were spinning across the polished floor
But as I moved towards you ,you moved the other way
And I knew then,you heard differerent music play.
I made a mistake,yet I thought you understood
Realisation comes down in a flood.
You’re just a stranger who seemed to know the dance
And I thought you meant it but that was just chance.
I’m so foolish,I give my heart away
I make errors then,of course, I have to pay.
Why don’t I learn more? Why do I repeat
The dance I am dancing which leads on to defeat?
Oh,I’ll still keep on dancing for the dance is my life
And like Anderson’s mermaid I walk on sharp knives.
So foolish, so foolish my heart
I dance though I know it tears me apar
How my heart sings
