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)
