I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can - Juice Newton

He said, «I've seen you before»,

As the band broke into Misty.

I put one hand on the bar.

The whole room by then

Was starting to spin.

I said, «you've got Hemingway’s eyes»,

And that night I called him papa.

It seems that there are so many lovers

Who hold you and yet,

Whose name you forget.

Dance, they said

Life is only for the moment

The light is brief,

Don’t waste it.

The taste is sweet so taste it.

So I said I understand,

I’m dancing as fast as I can.

Maybe were just shooting stars

Needing something to hold on to,

But each thing we touch seems to vanish,

Like candles and friends

They burn at both ends.

He said I’ll see you around,

And as I brushed my hair

I winked and said, «you might».

Cause I know by now how it’s done,

After all the mornings after

And all the nights.
