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
