Only The Music

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
