Only the Music

The swirling of dresses,
the scuffing of shoes--
"Should my hair be in tresses?"
"What tie do I choose?"--
As the hall fills with dancers,
and the strings start to sound--
We will take that first step,
and we won't touch the ground--

For there's only the music,
that plays on and on--
Yes, there's only the music,
the heartaches are gone--
We can stand close together,
while the world dances by--
"Cause there's only the music,
between you and I--
Yes, there's only the music,
between you and I

A head on a shoulder,
an arm 'round a waist,
If the weather gets colder,
we both will be braced--
For whatever the trouble,
we still have a chance--
If we hold hands together,
and take time to dance--

The clock hours bending,
the hands spinning 'round--
From beginning to ending,
as dancers we're bound--
With the memories like treasures,
all safe in their vaults--
When we hear the last measures,
we'll dance the grand waltz--

For there's only the music,
that plays on and on--
Yes, there's only the music,
the heartaches are gone--
We can stand close together,
while the world dances by--
"Cause there's only the music,
between you and I--
Yes, there's only the music,
between you and I

For there's only the music,
that plays on and on--
Yes, there's only the music,
the heartaches are gone--
We can stand close together,
while the world dances by--
"Cause there's only the music,
between you and I--
Yes, there's only the music,
between you and I
