 "I Know I Wondered Far From Love,

And Arms That Held Me Tight.

But Precious Moments Call Me Back,

To When You Were in My Life.

I'm Sorry If I Turned Away,

And Left You Feeling Cold.

Suspicious Got The Best Of Me.

Without Your Hand To Hold.

 

Won't You Take Me to Your Heart Again,

Help Me Baby, Try To Remember.

Take Me to Your Heart Again,

Never Leave Me Never Let Love End.

Take Me To Your Heart Again."

TV Special Performance:

I've been dancing in the wings
Learning life through many things
Dancing is the way I love my life
In this crazy world we're living in

As time goes on and on
Each stage is waiting for something said through
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'

The steps come one by one
Then Some by Some
And soon you're light on your feet
Feeling all up the beat
And you know choreography

You wear a smile that gleams
Your soul is singing out
You're dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
