Slow Dance Me A Symphony



Spin me gently in the candlelight of this quiet room
Hold my hand, and love me like it's a sin
In our own little world, we heal our wounds
Nothing can hurt us now and we will win
Keep looking into my eyes, focusing in this moment
Let the music flow freely like the ink of the poet

You say you don't dance, but you grab me by the hand
Lean into my world and I'll show you everything I can
Bring me into you, holding close and tight
Your body around mine, holding me all night
Boy, everything with you seems like nothing is too far
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars

We let the piano guide us while the strings speak
Everything that used to hurt, has ceased
Stepping together, swaying in the warm air
Feeling like I'm high, and to the world it just isn't fair
Watching you, watching me, is it real to be this free?
Moving back and forth, I understand your guarantee
To taste forever with you is all I'll ever need

You say you don't dance, but you grab me by the hand
Lean into my world and I'll show you everything I can
Bring me into you, holding close and tight
Your body around mine, holding me all night
Boy, everything with you seems like nothing is too far
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars

Keep spinning me around this room and pulling me into you
Don't skip a beat or miss the steps you take to my heart, keep doing it as you do
Showing me your soul, keeping me warm by it's flames
I bring you from your Hell as you take me to Heaven every time you speak my name
Hold me close in the moment because nothing will ever be the same

You say you don't dance, but you grab me by the hand
Lean into my world and I'll show you everything I can
Bring me into you, holding close and tight
Your body around mine, holding me all night
Boy, everything with you seems like nothing is too far
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars
Slow dance me a symphony under the stars
