Dancing in the Dark

 

by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz

Introduced in the 1931 Stage Musical

“The Band Wagon”

 

What though

love is old

 

What though song

is old

 

Through them

we can be young.

 

Hear this heart of mine

Make yours part of mine

 

Dear one . . .

 

Tell me that

we’re one . . .

 

Dancin’ in the dark

’til the tune ends

We’re dancin’ in the dark

and it soon ends

 

We’re waltzin’

in the wonder

of why we’re here

 

Time hurries by,

we’re here

and gone . . . 

 

Lookin’ for the light

of a new love

to brighten up the

night,

I have you love

 

And we can face the music together

 

Dancing in the dark.

 

Yes, we can face

the music

together

 

Dancing in the dark.
