For a moment… I believed you. For a moment… I stayed. You came back speaking softly, Like you knew the way inside. Said you understood me now, And I let the silence slide. There was something in your voice I had waited years to hear. Then you called it only friendship, While you kept me standing near. I can feel what we remember, I can want it to be true. But I need more than a feeling To begin again with you. Until the morning finds me, I'm dancing through the blue. Let the rhythm move around The place I kept for you. I still feel you when I close my eyes, Still wish you'd ask me to. But tonight my heart is beating For a life beyond this room. Beyond this room… Something new. Beyond this room… I'm moving through. You walked across the dance floor, Asked to take another turn. I searched your face for something You had never said in words. For a breath, I nearly followed, Nearly left my hand in yours. Then I heard the same old question Underneath the music once more. If you only came for friendship, Let me take the time I need. I can't answer with a promise While there's more I hope you mean. Until the morning finds me, I'm dancing through the blue. Let the rhythm move around The place I kept for you. I still feel you when I close my eyes, Still wish you'd ask me to. But tonight my heart is beating For a life beyond this room. Maybe you were being honest. Maybe I heard what I hoped. I was already halfway home When you said the door was open. I can love what happened here Without waiting here for more. Take a breath and lift my eyes There is music past the door. One more breath… One more step… I can feel The morning yet. Until the morning finds me, I'm dancing into gold. There is warmth beneath my skin Where I used to feel the cold. I can feel you when I close my eyes, Then open them and move. Now my heart is beating faster For a life beyond this room. Beyond this room… Something new. Beyond this room… I'm coming through. I meant it when I loved you. I'm ready for the morning.
