Lyrics
The Dance of Our Eyes
Verse
I’m in the mood to dance
I’m looking at you
and find you watchin’ me
And then our eyes meet
We both smile suddenly
I’m gazing into a man of mystery
Refrain
Break away, look back again
Drink in the look in his eyes
Could it be a spark that turns?
into a night of fiery desire
Let’s set the night on fire!
Chorus
Not wanting this time to end
We glance back and forth
Oh oh oh oh
and then we smile in time again
Sometimes you follow and other times you lead
We’ve started the romance
It began with the dance of our eyes
Verse
There’s certain energy
that comes from deep inside
I can see it when I look in his eyes
A special connection
just between you and me
Created by magic, what’s our destiny?
Refrain
Move close, look in his eyes
Pause a moment, do we speak
We’re lost to the music
The song, a melody so sweet
Let’s set the night on fire!
Chorus
Not wanting this time to end
We glance back and forth
Oh oh oh oh
and then we smile in time again
Sometimes you follow and other times you lead
We’ve started the romance
It began, it began with the dance of our eyes
The Dance of Our Eyes
Let’s set the night on fire!
Not wanting this dance to end
we say not a word
Oh oh oh oh
and then we smile in time again
Sometimes you follow and other times you lead
We’ve started the romance
It began
it began with the dance of our eyes
The Dance of Our Eyes
Refrain
As the music slowly fades
The last notes linger on
With one last look in his eyes
there beckons a promise
There beckons a promise…
Outro
Don’t worry, we’ll dance again
savor the romance
Our dance was made to dance again
We will dance
We will dance
We will dance
The Dance of Our Eyes
The Dance of Our Eyes
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
I don’t want this - I don’t want this dance to end
