Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When you take my hand your face is all I see

And all the walls fade to black like a movie scene

Our feet start to move, what you do to this linoleum

It's like the perfect dance floor

Put your hands 'round my waist, I hear the violins

And one step is all it takes and my head spins

I don't see the walls at all since the minute that

We stepped away from this place

We're dancing and then the world disappears

We're dancing to music no one else hears

It's magic, it's like we're stopping time

When your heart beats mine

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing

World is soft like a blur, all I see is colour

Hardest fall so it hurts when we're with each other

You're a sweet songbird when you're singing in my ear

Goosebumps run down my skin

When we're dancing and then the world disappears

We're dancing to music no one else hears

It's magic, it's like we're stopping time

When your heart beats mine

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing

I think that we could live for moments like this

The sweetest romance

Feels like there's all this magic

And we just gotta grab it

When we're dancing, yeah

We're dancing and then the world disappears

We're dancing to music no one else hears

It's magic, it's like we're stopping time

When your heart beats mine

When we're dancing

We're dancing and then the world disappears

We're dancing to music no one else hears

It's magic, it's like we're stopping time

When your heart beats mine

When we're dancing

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing, dancing, dancing

When we're dancing
