When She Started To Dance
words and music by Tony Carey and Diether Dehm




Well she took me away from
all of my problems
her song kept on ringing to the last tone
she left me there uncertain
right up the curtain
then she left me there standing alone

She was nobody´s baby, nobody´s tool
nobody´s saviour and nobody´s fool
she struck me down so easy
let the dance begin
from the outside looking in

When she started to dance
she twirled ´round and ´round
lost in a trance
and the walls tumbled down
she started to move
I reached for her hand
I watched as away she danced

I wish I never met her
´cause I can´t forget her
the thought of her moving all the way home
and her bright lights and laughter
followed me long after
she left me there standing alone

When she started to dance
she twirled ´round and ´round
lost in a trance
and the walls tumbled down
she started to move
I reached for her hand
I watched as away she danced

And she danced her way
into my life that night
she took me where I´d never been
she rose from the ashes there in the firelight
and I knew I would see her again

When she started to dance...
