lyrics

LONELY DANCER
By Mike McBride
Copyright 2011, RN SR 679-889

The curtain rises and the lights come on
The music starts, I realize I’m on
But I’ve never heard this song
All my movements come out wrong

I look beside me; no one stands there
Louder music comes from anywhere
I feel upon me eyes that stare
Crowds of people everywhere

(They stand and stare) They stand and stare
(From everywhere) They stand and stare
From everywhere
I know I see them all
But I’m afraid I’m gonna fall

Suddenly I feel your presence
Taste of love and your sweet essence
You have come to dance me through
As you lead I follow you

(I follow you) I follow you
(I follow you) You will lead me
Right on through
(Hold my hand) You hold my hand
(Take a stand) We take a stand
(All demands) Suddenly we’ve conquered
All demands

There is an answer for me a lonely dancer
You are the answer for this lonely dancer

All the music stops now
You show me anyhow
You keep on dancing
With everlasting moves I never knew

The stage lights dim, they bring me roses
The people leave, the theatre closes
But we keep dancing on and on
We don’t want to end this song

(It will live on) It will live on
(Like a song) Like a song
We’re living on and on

There is an answer for me a lonely dancer
You are the answer for this lonely dancer

(lead)

I have found what I believe in
I won’t be leaving
I’ll keep on dancing
Living from what you bring

There is a way
You are the Way
I have found you
