Songtext von Short Dance

If I dance I will dance with you And your sweet laughter will lead me through This fog of our fading years We have lost our glamorous youth But we've found another pleasant truth This life is just a short dance Music's swimming through the air But right before we shake off the care This strange dance is over If I dance I will dance with you Can you smell the dying roses, too? We have to go to bed I see the sun rising in your eyes I touch your skin no silent cries Let us dance till the day breaks up Until the tune makes a sudden cut It's just a short dance And I need your leading So we're dancing Still dancing Dancing away the time.
