Verse 1
I saw you smile across the crowded floor,
just like a dream I’d had before.
The lights were gold, the music high,
and suddenly my heart could fly.
You took my hand, I lost my way,
forgot the words I meant to say.
But in your eyes I saw the truth,
a little love, a little youth.
Pre-Chorus
Oh-oh, I should be stronger,
oh-oh, but I can’t wait longer.
Every time you look at me,
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
Chorus
Tell me why tonight,
my heart is dancing in the light.
Tell me why I feel
like every dream is suddenly real.
Round and round, we go again,
lovers now and almost friends.
Tell me why tonight,
I can’t say goodbye.
Verse 2
The morning comes, the magic fades,
like silver stars in window shades.
I tell myself I’ll walk away,
then hear your voice and have to stay.
A little wrong, a little right,
we’re shining in the lonely night.
And though tomorrow breaks my heart,
tonight we’ll never be apart.
Pre-Chorus
Oh-oh, I should know better,
oh-oh, but love’s a letter.
Written in a melody,
calling you back home to me.
Chorus
Tell me why tonight,
my heart is dancing in the light.
Tell me why I feel
like every dream is suddenly real.
Round and round, we go again,
lovers now and almost friends.
Tell me why tonight,
I can’t say goodbye.
Bridge
La-la-la, the night is glowing,
la-la-la, the tears are showing.
If this is only make-believe,
why does it hurt when you leave?
Final Chorus
Tell me why tonight,
my heart is dancing in the light.
Tell me why I feel
like every dream is suddenly real.
Round and round, we go again,
lovers now and almost friends.
Tell me why tonight,
I can’t say goodbye.
Outro
Tell me why, tell me why,
underneath the golden sky.
Tell me why tonight,
I still need your light.
