Dancing in my dreams
I'm only dancing in my dreams,
For you no longer hold me
When I need your strong embrace
I will get along
My hopeful heart is very strong,
And you will not define me,
Though no one can take your place
There are other joys to know,
And I'll embrace them so,
Every moment, every year,
And when my days are through,
I'll still remember you,
And maybe even shed a little tear
Yes, I will be okay
No, you can't hold me, we can't sway,
But I still have my dreams
I'm still dancing in my dreams.

And I'll embrace them so,
Every moment, every year,
And when my days are through,

And maybe even shed a little tear
Yes, I will be okay
No, you can't hold me, we can't sway,
But I still have my dreams
I'm still dancing in my dreams.
