It's the look in his eyes when she turns and smiles
As if all the years don't count
A face full of joy, gazing like a boy
She's still the treasure he just found
He only sees the girl with the freckles and curls
Again, like then, he's in a trance
Everything's better since the first time he met her at the dance
Life can change through a dance
Take a breath and give it a chance
You might be in for a sweet surprise
If you open your eyes at the dance
He shot for the moon on a Sunday afternoon
She fell for his innocent charms
Maybe not the perfect frame but his eyes lit a flame
And she simply felt safe in his arms
A boy and a girl, floating on a cloud
Too shy to take a glance
Waiting for the bliss of their first kiss at the dance
Life can change through a dance
Take a breath and give it a chance
You might be in for a sweet surprise
If you open your eyes at the dance
They got married in the fall, life seemed like a ball
It all went so easy from the start
Two girls and a boy, their happy pride and joy
Playing like puppies in the yard
But every now and then, when the sun doesn't shine
And the worries of life fill the manse
They long for the days waltzing in a haze at the dance
Life can change through a dance
Take a breath and give it a chance
You might be in for a sweet surprise
If you open your eyes at the dance
Life can change through a dance
Take a breath and give it a chance
The prettiest drives you've ever seen
Are the backroads to love in Fisher and Gruene
You might be in for a sweet surprise
If you open your eyes at the dance
If you open your eyes at the dance
Just open your eyes at the dance
