I need to get you on my mind

I want to feel my hand with you

I can learn every word that's been written

And just all that's been proved

It's all been so simple til now

There's no brilliance like beauty out there

No knowledge as wise as the heart

We all need reason to care

I need to dance with life

Sweep you away into the night

When there is no one else around

I will make every day count

We need to dance with life

Swim in the soul of your eyes

Til we melt into the night

Oh we need to dance with life

And leave a brilliant light behind

We could lay on the ground

We could look at that light in the sky

Show you the moon and the million stars

The stars that we become when we die

I need to dance with life

Sweep you away into the night

When there's no one else around

I will make every day count

We need to dance with life

Swim in the soul of your eyes

Til we melt into the night

Oh we need to dance with life

And leave a brilliant light behind

It's no secret how I feel

This flesh and bone I love you is just sealed

To cover me up and hide the deal

And the deal with me to dance with life

Breathe the sweet fresh air

And make every second you're last

And now I'll touch you from any world I wake in

Make the most of the present and the past

I need to dance with life

Sweep you away into the night

When there's no one else around

I will make every day count

We need to dance with life

Swim in the soul of your eyes

Til we melt into the night

Oh we need to dance with life

And we leave a brilliant light

We leave a brilliant light

We leave a brilliant light behind
