Bright lights and funny clowns Hammin' it up on the circus grounds Horses, big parade Such a pretty sight, this love we made From way up here, life's just a ball With you by my side, love is worth the fall So we're tap dancing on a highwire We could go tumbling down But something makes me want to go higher Think it's having you around Oh, get a look at us playing with fire Oh, we're tap dancing on a highwire Big applause, from the crowd out there Watching our hearts hang in mid-air No strings and no fear Keeps our love suspended up here We know we could go lose our balance and fall but a heart that don't dance Ain't a real heart at all
