When I Dance For You - Dennis De Young

— Esmerelda —

People will say beware she’s a gypsy

A liar a beggar a thief, a witch and a shrew

Don’t let her into your life

She’ll weave her black magic

And sooner or later

A spell will be cast over you

But look in my eyes

And see there’s no evil

No daughter of Satan

No mistress of darkness and sin

I’m just a poor girl

Who dances and sings for your pleasure

And the joy that I see in your eyes when the music begins

And the love that I feel in my heart when the dancing begins

For each time I dance

I forget all my pain

I spin and I twirl

And then suddenly nothing’s the same

I’m no longer the orphan of gypsies and thieves

No prejudice waiting to hurt me

I’m magically free

So when I dance for you

I’ll make you believe that it’s just for your

I’ll dance for you and sing you a sweet lullaby

But in my secret dream

A man comes to rescue me

And then he takes me into his arms and there I will stay

And the music will play

So when I dance for you

I’ll make you believe that it’s just for your

I’ll dance for you and sing you a sweet lullaby

But in my secret dream

A man comes to rescue me

And then he takes me in to his arms and there I will stay, I’ll stay

I’ll stay
