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.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "We Will Dance" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
