We Were Dancing - Scene

歌詞

[spoken:] I only know that when we were dancing an enchantment swept over me. An enchantment that I've never known before and shall never know again. Oh, its obvious that to you my behavior must seem cheap, childish, idiotic, anything you like—but it's true this magic that's happened—so true that all ordinary ways of behavior look shabby and unreal beside it. My heart's thumping, I'm trembling like a fool, even now when I'm trying so hard, so desperately hard to explain to you calmly and reasonably, I daren't look at you. If I did my eyes would brim over with these foolish tears and I should cry like a child. If you can Imagine my embarrassment when you politely asked me to explain, Man to man, I cannot help but feel conventional apologies are all in vain. You must see, We've stepped into a dream that's set us free. Don't think we've planned it, Please, understand it. We were dancing, And the gods must have found it entrancing For they smiled On a moment undefiled By the care and woe that mortals know. We were dancin,g And the music and lights were enhancing Our desire, When the world caught on fire She and I were dancing. Love lay in wait for us, Twisted our fate for us, No one warned us Reason scorned us, Time stood still In that first sweet thrill. Destiny knew of us, Guided the two of us, How could we Refuse to see That wrong seemed right On that lyrical enchanted night. Logic supplies no laws for it, Only one thing calls for it. We were dancing, And the gods must have found it entrancing For they smiled On a moment undefiled By the care and woe that mortals know. We were dancing, And the music and lights were enhancing Our desire, When the world caught on fire She and I were dancing.
