Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief,
Dont waste it.
The taste is sweet so taste it.
So I said I understand,
Im dancing as fast as I can.
Maybe were just shooting stars
Needing something to hold on to,
But each thing we touch seems to vanish,
Like candles and friends
They burn at both ends.
Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief,
Dont waste it.
The taste is sweet so taste it.
So I said I understand,
Im dancing as fast as I can.
He said Ill see you around,
And as I brushed my hair
I winked and said, you might.
Cause I know by now how its done,
After all the mornings after
And all the nights.
Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief,
Dont waste it.
The taste is sweet so taste it.
So I said I understand,
Im dancing as fast as I can.
