[English]
When you need a hand
When you need a shoulder
When you need your space or
For me to pull you closer
I can be your sunshine on rainy days
I can wipe your tears away, just
Pick out a song, I can hold you to
Go on lay down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
And if that's the truth
I only wanna dance with you
...
When the days are easy
When the nights get long
I can be your strength
When you ain't feeling strong
Close your eyes
And don't forget to breathe
And just follow my lead
Then we can pick out a song, I can hold you to
Go on lay down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
And if that's the truth
I only wanna dance with you
Only wanna dance with you
...
We only get so many moments
It will all be gone before we know it
So, pick out a song I can hold you to
Go on lay down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
If that's the truth
I only wanna dance
I only wanna dance
I only wanna dance with you
Only wanna dance with you
Mmm, mmm
With you
Ooh
...
