Lyrics
The lights were low and not a sound
Wandering eyes all around
And then the band began to play
We were on our way
Then you said to me, smooth and easily,
"Will you take my hand and dance with me?"
We made our way onto the floor
Wandering eyes now adored
You held me closer with each step
How could I forget?
You made love to me, dancing cheek to cheek
Oh how endlessly we moved, so free
And as the tango called to me
Our love was plain to see
The way you looked at me
Promised eternally
The dance would last until the dawn
By then they'd all be gone
Now it was you and me
Cascading cheek to cheek
I had to cool my inner fire
Overwhelmed with desire
Your lips fell softly on my skin
Where do I begin?
Whisper in my ear, hold me close my dear
You were so sincere, intentions clear
And as the tango called to me
Our love was plain to see
The way you looked at me
Promised eternally
The dance would last until the dawn
By then they'd all be gone
Now it was you and me
Cascading cheek to cheek
My darling dance with me
