will you come and dance the waltz this summer evening
arm in arm my fraulein fair
this will be gay highlight of fifteen eighteen
spinning round the village square
and we dance now
with a chaste bow
can you feel how
magic fills all the air
don't you wish this evening could go on forever
as you dance without a care
there's no need to stop no need for cool refreshment
while my hoof beat keeps up the time
as you dance you're wondering just where the time went
midnight bells will peal and chime
but your legs burn
and your feet hurt
yet you still turn
to the rhythm sublime
something deep inside now makes you pause for warning
is this madness or divine
why am I still dancing here I really can't go on
he stopped playing hours ago but I still hear the song
(instrumental verse)
Lyra in the west and softly daylight breaking
still you dance my wonderful girl, your
eyes are wild with fear and how your limbs are shaking
you're my precious j**eled pearl
in a trance now
with a furrowed brow
come with me, frau
there's no fear in my world
once the light inside your eyes is gone forever
you'll be mine and I'll be yours
This is like a dream to me I can't see day or night
his song beckons me to fly and gratefully to die, die, die
(my darling)
lovingly I lift your lifeless maiden body
to the seventh circle of hell
with a solemn vow forever I do wed thee
to the tolling funeral bell
tiny dancing
it's enchanting
I am your queen / you are my queen
for all eternity
shuffle off this mortal coil now I possess you
dancing to the end of the world
