The day will come that I will dance with you,
It doesn’t really matter how
My love.
Our dance evolves so slow and warm and light.
We live and shine in your bright eyes,
My love.
We're dancing for ourselves, our love, our rights,
Our independency, we'll waltz,
My love.
So much to overcome but it is worth the fight,
To have you so, so near
My love.
To overcome the fear, we are so absolutely right,
Admit it to ourselves, admit it loud and clear
My love.
The day will come that I will dance with you,
Will have you so, so near,
My love.
When everything comes tumbling down around,
Together we still dance, upright.
My love.
We’ll overcome the fear, we are so absolutely right.
For us we live, for us we’ll always fight,
My love.
I close you in my arms and close my burning eyes,
And you will hold me to you, hold me tight,
My love.
My body is so small, and in your arms so slight,
But I’ll guide you through the night
My love.
This dance is sensually slow, it takes us step by step
To where our future lives,
My love.
The day will come that I will dance with you.
I know I will, and so do you,
My love.
