put on your dancing shoes

so much going on out there

leaves us hanging in the air

and it's all that we can do to face each day and see it though

life's a dance

put on your dancing shoes

take a chance

you can't shut your eyes to pain

faces crying in the rain

you can't keep it all inside

you need some way to let it ride

life's a dance

put on your dancing shoes

take a chance

when you're all over

when you know you've done all that you can do

put on your dancing shoes

it'll see you through

voices shouting in the street

life lived to a ragged beat

someone's world is tumbling down

and who's the saint and where's the clown?

life's a dance

put on your dancing shoes

take a chance

when you're all over

when you know you've done all that you can do

put on your dancing shoes

it'll see you through

when time is flying

when you know there's no end to these modern blues

put on your dancing shoes

it'll see you through
