Dancing

And if she came to meet me I can't believe it's true

She smiles so discreetly

Reminding me of you

It's autumn and it's raining

An ordinary day

She wears a silver raincoat

And I'm dressed all in grey

And I could take her dancing

But I don't like to dance

My life reads like a book now

A harlequin romance

The edges hold together

The center falls flat

I can't blame it on the weather

My heart's not an acrobat

We're walking arm in arm now

Her silver on my grey

I'm noticing her charm now

But I don't know what to say

She wants to look inside me

She wants to see within

She's standing there beside me

But I won't let her in

And I could take her dancing

But I don't like to dance

My life reads like a book now

A harlequin romance

The edges hold together

The center falls flat

I can't blame it on the weather

My heart's not an acrobat

The autumn leaves are falling

The streets are paved with gold

From time to time I hear you calling

Still I do as I am told

And if she came to meet me

I can't believe it's true

She smiles so discreetly

And I try not to think of you

And I could take her dancing

But I don't like to dance

But if I don't ask her now

I might nog have another chance

The edges hold together

The center falls flat

Can't blame it ont he weather

My heart's not an acrobat
