I will smile like I mean it To someone I don't know I'll dance to the clockwork As the bells sing my song I'm just trying, trying to live a life I love As if dying, dying is nothing I'm scared of Simplify it till the bare bones look me in the eye tonight I will laugh until I start to cry I will dance until the day I die Will I think that I've dreamed it When I'm at heaven's gate? Will St. Peter believe me When I tell him why I'm late? Don't you know that I'm just trying, trying to live a life I love As if dying, dying, is nothing I'm scared of Simplify it till the bare bones look me in the eye tonight I will laugh until I start to cry I will love until I've seen this life through your eyes I know we won't see the end of time But we will dance until the day we die We'll dance until the day we die We'll dance until the day we die We'll dance until the day we die
