[spoken:] I only know that when we were dancing an enchantment swept over me. An enchantment that I've never known before and shall never know again. Oh, its obvious that to you my behavior must seem cheap, childish, idiotic, anything you like—but it's true this magic that's happened—so true that all ordinary ways of behavior look shabby and unreal beside it. My heart's thumping, I'm trembling like a fool, even now when I'm trying so hard, so desperately hard to explain to you calmly and reasonably, I daren't look at you. If I did my eyes would brim over with these foolish tears and I should cry like a child

If you can

Imagine my embarrassment when you politely asked me to explain

Man to man

I cannot help but feel conventional apologies are all in vain

You must see

We've stepped into a dream that's set us free

Don't think we've planned it

Please, understand it

We were dancing

And the gods must have found it entrancing

For they smiled

On a moment undefiled

By the care and woe that mortals know

We were dancin,g

And the music and lights were enhancing

Our desire

When the world caught on fire

She and I were dancing

Love lay in wait for us

Twisted our fate for us

No one warned us

Reason scorned us

Time stood still

In that first sweet thrill

Destiny knew of us

Guided the two of us

How could we

Refuse to see

That wrong seemed right

On that lyrical enchanted night

Logic supplies no laws for it

Only one thing calls for it

We were dancing

And the gods must have found it entrancing

For they smiled

On a moment undefiled

By the care and woe that mortals know

We were dancing

And the music and lights were enhancing

Our desire

When the world caught on fire

She and I were dancing
