Lyrics

I’ve watched the sun rise in your eyes

and I’ve seen the tears fall like the rain.

You’ve seen me fight, so brave and strong

and you’ve held my hand when I’m a fraid.

We’ve watched the sea sons come and go;

we’ll see them come and go a gain,

but in win ter’s chill or sum mer’s breeze,

one thing will not be from chang ing: and we

will dance

when the sun is shin ing.

In the pour ing rain

we’ll (Abm6/9)spin and we’ll sway, and we

will dance

when the gen tle breeze be comes a hur ri cane.

The (Abm6/9)mu sic will play and I’ll take your hand and hold you close to me,

and we

will dance.

Some times it’s hard to hold you tight,

and some times we feel so far a part.

Some times we dance as one and feel

the beat held ing of each oth er’s heart.

Some days the dance is slow and sweet;

some days we’re bounc ing off the walls,

but no mat ter how this world may turn,

our love will keep us from fall ing and we

will dance

when the sun is shin ing.

In the pour ing rain

we’ll (Abm6/9)spin and we’ll sway, and we

will dance

when the gen tle breeze be comes a hur ri cane.

The (Abm6/9)mu sic will play and I’ll take your hand and hold you close to me,

and we

will dance.

and we

will dance.

The (Abm6/9)mu sic will play and I’ll hold you close, and I (F7)won’t let go.

E ven (Abmaj13)when our steps grow weak and (A)slow, still I’ll (Eb)take your hand

and (F7)hold you close to me,

and (Abm6/9)we

will dance.

We will dance.
