Let's Dance
Dance Through Love's Embrace: The Deeper Meaning of 'Let's Dance' by The Comptones
Lyrics
Let's dance
Invitation to dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Suggesting putting on red shoes to dance away sorrows
Let's dance
Reiteration of the invitation to dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Dancing to the music on the radio
Let's sway
Encouraging to sway while colorful lights illuminate
While color lights up your face
Repeating the suggestion to sway
Let's sway
Swaying through the crowd to find an empty space
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If asked to run, expressing readiness to run together
If you say run
Commitment to run if requested
I'll run with you
If asked to hide, expressing willingness to hide together
And if you say hide
Commitment to hide if requested
We'll hide
Declaration of intense love, acknowledging vulnerability
Because my love for you
Expressing the impact of love on the heart
Would break my heart in two
Imagining the lover falling into arms and trembling
If you should fall into my arms
Invitation to dance again
And tremble like a flower
Repetition of the dance invitation
Let's dance
Dancing to avoid the fall of grace
Let's dance
Reiterating the call to dance
For fear your grace should fall
Dancing to overcome fear of the night
Let's dance
Dancing to counter fear of the night being the end
For fear tonight is all
Encouraging to sway and gaze into eyes
Let's sway
Repeating the suggestion to sway
You could look into my eyes
Swaying under the moonlight, emphasizing its seriousness
Let's sway
If asked to run, expressing readiness to run together
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Repeating the willingness to run under the moonlight
And if you say run
If asked to hide, expressing willingness to hide together
I'll run with you
Commitment to run if requested
And if you say hide
If asked to hide, expressing willingness to hide together
We'll hide
Commitment to hide if requested
Because my love for you
Declaration of intense love, acknowledging vulnerability
Would break my heart in two
Expressing the impact of love on the heart
If you should fall into my arms
Imagining the lover falling into arms and trembling
And tremble like a flower
Invitation to dance again
Let's dance
Reiteration of the call to dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Suggesting putting on red shoes to dance away sorrows
Let's sway
Repeating the suggestion to sway under the serious moonlight
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Encouraging to dance again
Let's dance
Reiterating the invitation to dance
Let's dance
Repeating the call to dance enthusiastically
Let's dance, dance, dance
Expressing the joy of dancing
