DANCING INSIDE

When I was younger, when I was a lad
Everyone said my demeanour was sad
Well sometimes I laughed and sometimes I cried
But most of the time I was dancing inside

Chorus
Dancing inside, dancing inside
Something within me that can’t be denied
If I actually said I was sad, then I lied
I was dancing inside

I once saw a pretty maid, fair as can be
And I knew that maid, she was made just for me
When I saw my chance I was there by her side
Then she looked at me, I was dancing inside

Chorus
Dancing inside, dancing inside
Give me the waltz and together we’ll glide
Stay pretty maiden, I’ll make you a bride
Now we’re dancing inside

Sometimes when life can be less than kind
And the devil’s at play with your peace of mind
Remember your inner demons have nowhere to hide
While Terspsichore keeps you amused
And within you resides

Now farewell you wise men and farewell you fools
I’ve taken my turn as the Lord of Misrule
Look back, not in anger, no shame, but with pride
Whatever the weather I’m dancing inside

Chorus
Dancing inside, dancing inside
Whatever I do I’ll be dancing inside
Ever since I was born ‘til the day that I died
I was dancing Inside,
Oh, Dancing inside, dancing inside
Something within me that can’t be denied
If I said I was sad, then, it’s true that I lied
I was dancing inside
