We were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start He stepped into the night With his heart open wide I was standing there With nowhere left to hide He looked to me like a shadow Moving in the night Then he took a hold of my hand In the soft moonlight And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start I could hear his heartbeat Pounding in the night I could feel his body Starting to be kind With his soft red lips Made up my mind His soothing kiss Was all I desired And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start We kissed and touched But it wasn't enough To stop this wheel of fire One step at a time And I knew he was mine We were lost in the heat of desire And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start No way No way at all To stop us moving closer Each look in his eyes Made my heart beat in time Over and over and over and over And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
