Why do we dance better when we are in love?

Aa Harvey

Why do we dance better when we are in love?

 

 

Why do we dance better, when we are in love?

A lack of embarrassment,

As you feel like you've been drugged.

You feel the music more, because the lyrics have new meaning.

The description to the picture, of the woman you've never seen.

 

 

The lights enlighten your mind, as the colour fills her face.

She appears before you, when you’re too drunk to concentrate;

On the words she is saying, that you know would be great,

But she thinks you’re not listening and now it's too late.

Her attentions been taken, by another hopeful singleton;

An unknown quantity, you never had time to think of.

 

 

He's taken your place, in entrapping her mind;

He's the guy you should have been, but you never had the time.

He's the second rate choice, that wins this fair maiden’s soul;

He's taken your maiden, so now you should go.

 

 

The girl I think I love, isn't really who I love;

I just haven't realised, that my time has not yet come.

But love is on the way, my heart is its destination;

But to whom will it be given and mutually taken?

 

 

If loves on the way, how long must I wait?

And will it hurt me like before?

Or will I see that it's a new day?

Full of new opportunities, new hopes and new dreams;

But this time around, there will be a happy ending.

 

 

Thinking of the future fills my heart with such gladness;

Knowing I could fall in love with a stranger,

Who will take away my sadness.

Knowing anything is possible; my futures full of hope,

That one day I'll get the girl and one day I'll fall in love.

 

 

To listen to new words, from a voice I've never heard,

Would be such a thrill, would be more than I deserve.

For the strong always win, as the weaker man falls behind;

But surely I deserve love too, I've committed no crime.

 

 

So why am I punished, every time I see her face?

The last kiss we'll ever share, now only leaves a bitter taste.

We could have been good for each other,

If I only stood my ground

And told this girl that I like her,

To make her smile and not frown.

 

 

I walk into the bar, as my future sits on her own.

I must seize this last chance and tell her she's the one.

So we sit there all night long, telling tales of our past,

Whilst thinking of the future, as I wonder will this last?

 

 

She understands your desires, your wishes and your dreams.

She wants to be with you; well at least that's what you think.

You must let the goodness of love, overcome the bitterness

And let the love light shine on her, so you can feel the goodness.

To light the warmness you feel, so you can ignore all your doubts

And make a hole in your heart, to let the burden seep out.

 

 

I'd make a hole in her head, to remove the memories of the hurt,

To help her look to the future; it is what she deserves.

To let her remember the good times

And the love that we could have;

To make her think of our future

And forget the painful past.

 

 

I want to take away the weight,

That you carry upon your shoulders

And hope we make a connection,

Between what's inside us.

The worlds too heavy for you to carry,

I think it's time you gave it back;

I only want to make you happy

And stop you ever feeling sad.

 

 

Now the weight has been lifted

And you’re free from the burden,

Will you join me on this quest

To find our Garden of Eden?

To create our own world,

Exactly as we need it to be;

To share in the ecstasy of possibilities.

 

 

Our future could be golden,

Like the setting summer sun.

Loves a new weight on your shoulders,

But it gives you someone,

Who will be there until you die.

Unless I die before you do;

But I'd refuse to be killed,

If it meant that I'd lose you.
