Electric Dances

Works & lyrics, 1982

My blood is alive
With the electric dances of your love
When you're near I delight
In the warmth of your laughter, your touch
I look at you you
And wonder why
I say nothing at all
I've never tried
To shatter this silence
And tell you
How much I love you

Your rhythm of dance
Keeps my spirit alight
The thought of romance
Lets me believe I can fly
But if I want you
To come with me
I must find a way
To feel that I'm free
To speak from the heart
And let you know
That I love you

What will you do
When you know I love you?
What will you say
When I tell you, I need you to stay?
What will you feel
When you realize, my love is real?

This song that I'm sining
This dance that I'm feeling
The wish to be near you
The longing to touch you
All goes to say
That I love you
I love you

I sat down to write
A song you could call all your own
It's music to fight
The feeling of being alone
I'll give you everything that I can give
I'll give you more
I'll give you the gift
Of a song
That tells of my love
That'll last forever

What will you do
When you know I love you?
What will you say
When I tell you, I need you to stay?
What will you feel
When you realize, my love is real?

This song that I'm sining
This dance that I'm feeling
The wish to be near you
The longing to touch you
All goes to say
That I love you
I love you
