Dancing with Character
Dancing with Character: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Timeless Rhythms
Lyrics
Keep it light on your toes and forget what you know
Encouraging to dance with a carefree attitude, letting go of preconceived notions.
Time to take the floor
An invitation to step onto the dance floor.
Put my hand on your back, feel your body react
A physical connection and the enjoyment of the partner's response to the dance.
You are a natural
Complimenting the partner's natural dancing ability.
We can jive 'til our footsteps travel a thousand miles tonight
Expressing a desire to dance passionately for a long distance.
Keep it light, you'll be led, hazel eyes
Advising to dance lightly, being led, with a specific mention of hazel eyes.
He was dancing with character
Describing a man dancing with character, reminiscing about his past with a loved one, and expressing a commitment to continue dancing until reunited.
Such a wonderful dancer, it embarrassed her
-He was dancing with character
-He was always a fan of her and married her
-Now he's dancing alone, losing control
-Moving from the memory in his bones
-Dancing with character and he'll never stop dancing 'til he's back with her
-Got a room, bought a house
Narrating the attempt to build a life together, with the partner now only existing in memories and dances.
Tried to save a good amount to start a family
-Love is all when it lasts, now she only ever dances in my memory
-As the language is fading, I find that the only way to talk is through my moves
-I'm with you, hazel eyes
-He was dancing with character
Reiteration of the man's character-filled dance, losing control alone, driven by memories, and a determination to dance until reunited.
Such a wonderful dancer, it embarrassed her
-He was dancing with character
-He was always a fan of her and married her
-Now he's dancing alone, losing control
-Moving from the memory in his bones
-Dancing with character and he'll never stop dancing 'til he's back with her
-Now she's gone, is she free?
Reflecting on the partner's absence, questioning her freedom, wondering if she watches over, and seeking companionship in dancing.
And is she watching over me?
-Now I'm here, just me, so will anybody dance with me?
-Keep it light, you'll be led, hazel eyes
Repeating the advice to dance lightly, emphasizing hazel eyes in the night.
In the night, you'll be there, hazel eyes
-He was dancing with character
Continuation of the man's character-filled dance, expressing loss, and the determination to keep dancing until reunited.
Such a wonderful dancer, it embarrassed her
-He was dancing with character
-He was always a fan of her and married her
-Now he's dancing alone, losing control
-Moving from the memory in his bones
-Dancing with character and he'll never stop dancing 'til he's back with her
-He was dancing with character
Final repetition of the man's commitment to dance until back with his loved one.
He'll never stop dancing 'til he's back with her
