i can still remember the first time our eyes metit was you and meand the mysteryit’s a time i will never forgetand in one tiny frozen momentthat remains to this dayyou looked into meand i could see

there was nothing in my way.

it was the rhythm of the heartit was a fire shining throughand i’m dancing to that rhythmno matter what i doit’s the rhythm of the heartand there’s only me and youdancingto the rhythm of the heart.

now in one sense that time is over your body is long gonebut the love we shareis still aliveand that’s what leads me on i don’t need to believe in love i can feel and i see it’s right hereyou gave me back my innocenceand the will to disappearinto the rhythm of the heartinto the firs shining throughand we’re dancing to that rhythm no matter what we do
