            Dancing in the Sunshine

       Ooo  ooo,  awh, ooo, ooo, awh

I wish to dance in the sunshine,
Come and dance with me in the shine,
 Let us dance while the sky is bright,
Come close to my eyes, to my sight;

Come and dance without a worry,
Just the two of us, you and me,
Come and dance ever feeling free,
Like the waves in the silent sea;

Come and feel how fast my heart beats,
Come and feel how my lips are sweet,
Come and dance with me as my twain,
Let us dance again and again;

	I wish to dance in the sunshine
        Ooo  ooo,  awh,  ooo, ooo, awh
	Come and dance with me in the shine
	Ooo  ooo,  awh,  ooo, ooo, awh;

I wish to be free, to be free,
Like a bird on the verdant tree,
Sing freely like a nightingale
Twitting in a flowery vale;

I wish to fly across the space
To some other beautiful place,
To fly just with you to the moon
There to taste our sweet honey soon;

I wish just to fly across time
To a very far distant clime,
To fly away just you and me
To where leads our own destiny;

	I wish to dance in the sunshine
	Ooo  ooo,  awh,  ooo, ooo, awh
	Come and dance with me in the shine
	Ooo  ooo,  awh,  ooo, ooo, awh;

Under whatever shine we are,
Under whichever clime we are
You and me shall be who we are
Like distinct stars shining afar;

Even if we gaze at the sky
At the grass root our nest shall lie
In the midst of warm human ties
Where shine of the sun never dies;

Let`s feel free to dance in the shine 
Until will last the sands of time,
Until in ourselves we believe,
Until the last breath we can breathe;


        I wish to dance in the sunshine
	Ooo  ooo, awh,  ooo, ooo, awh
	Come and dance with me in the shine 
	Ooo  ooo,  awh,  ooo, ooo, awh
	Dance, dance, dance and dance in the shine

	Ooo  ooo,  awh, drummer beat your drum
	 Player, please, let  your guitar strum
	Let us dance in the shine, la, la
	Dance, dance, dance in the shine, la, la.
