We Were Dancing - Noël Coward

If you can

Imagine my embarrassment when you politely asked me to explain

Man to man

I cannot help but feel conventional apologies are all in vain

You must see

We’ve stepped into a dream that’s set us free

Don’t think we’ve planned it

Please, understand it

We were dancing

And the gods must have found it entrancing

For they smiled

On a moment undefiled

By the care and woe that mortals know

We were dancin, g

And the music and lights were enhancing

Our desire

When the world caught on fire

She and I were dancing

Love lay in wait for us

Twisted our fate for us

No one warned us

Reason scorned us

Time stood still

In that first sweet thrill

Destiny knew of us

Guided the two of us

How could we

Refuse to see

That wrong seemed right

On that lyrical enchanted night

Logic supplies no laws for it

Only one thing calls for it

We were dancing

And the gods must have found it entrancing

For they smiled

On a moment undefiled

By the care and woe that mortals know

We were dancing

And the music and lights were enhancing

Our desire

When the world caught on fire

She and I were dancing
