[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

...
