Dance With Love
(Dee Shipman / Charles Aznavour)

Butterflies upon the wing 
A melody you sing 
Without words
And suddenly my thoughts are light 
And soaring, take flight 
Like a bird.
From the darkness where my eyes were blinded 
By some chance I find 
Worlds surreal 
On a rainbow I ascend 
And at the rainbow’s end 
Bad days trampled as I move 
Into a dance with love 

I dance with love 
Forgetting all my years and despair 
As happy as a fool without care 
Indiff’rent to the way people stare 

I dance with love 
As easy and as free as the air 
Just look at me now, I’m dancing! 
You see how I’m dancing! 

Floating in the perfect sky 
Like scent that makes me high 
I discover 
I’m the child I once disguised 
Who runs from one surprise 
To another 
New blood courses in my veins 
I see through all the games 
And pretensions 
All is beautiful and new 
A diff’rent point of view 
New dimensions 
Open to me as I move 
Into the dance with love 

I dance with love 
Inspired as a priest on his knees 
As drunk as any sailor at sea 
An eagle who defies gravity 
I dance with Iove 

I’m master of the world, wild and free 
Just look at me now, I’m dancing! 
You see how I’m dancing! 

If the whirlpool of my soul 
Can heal and make me whole 
Turning, turning 
Sweep away the fear and pain 
No lessons will remain 
For the learning 
‘Til there’s nothing left to prove 
I’ll dance a dance with love
