I can't stand the day,
Because of the light.
Though I must say,
To dance in the night,
Makes me feel as I may.

I like to dance in the night,
It's too dark to see me cry,
And too quiet for you
To let out and scream.

:CHORUS:

Oh I can't stand the light,
People are about,
Searching for others,
Perhaps even me.

:CHORUS:

I'd say I've never wasted,
The use of my feet.
I'm up and about at night,
Dancing and crying,
Sighing and laughing.

My dance shoes are worn out,
From all the nights of my life,
Dancing with my heart,
I can't stand the day,
The light breaks my heart.

:CHORUS:

Oh, why I sometimes wonder,
My life is attached to the darked of the night,
But I always come to the conclusion,
That the light is just not so good for my eyes.

My golden green eyes,
Sometimes dark like my heart,
Or sometimes light like the sun,
Seem not to take the brightness of day very well.
And even though, my lashes long and dark,
Able to shade my eyes,
I still hide in shadows when the light is near.

:CHORUS:

So my feet are moving,
Quick and steady,
Balanced and moving,
In the darkness of the night.
I see not whom I dance with,
Nor do they see me and my bloody tears.

This man is mysterious,
As I dance onward with him.
He moves so swiftly and perfect.
I know not who he is,
Only do I know his dance beat.

:CHORUS:

So at the very end of the night,
And the beginning of the sun's day dew,
We stop our dancing,
And leave without words.

Tonight later I will dance again,
With many other men,
As such of a ball or dance,
Whatever you wish to call it.
Perhaps I will find the man,
From the darkness of last night,
Feel his beat and finally see his face.

:CHORUS:

I dance with more men,
Than ever have I danced before in one night,
So far I find not this man,
Or his perfect dance.
I don't stop dancing with the men,
I am determined to seek for his beat.
I stumble into men,
None of them him,
And feel like my bloody tears all over again.

:CHORUS:

Now I change my partner,
For the near 20th time,
The beat is familiar.
The touch of his soft hands,
And the texture of his silk suit,
It's all so familiar,
It's all coming back.

:CHORUS x2 fades 2nd time:

((Sheesh, sorry it's so long.. but i made this one a song... it's one of my favorite songs to sing))
