I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can Lyrics

He said, 'I've seen you before.'
As the band broke into Misty
I put one hand on the bar
The whole room by then
Was starting to spinI said, 'you've got Hemingway's eyes.'
And that night I called him papa
It seems that there are so many lovers
Who hold you and yet
Whose name you forget[Chorus]
Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don't waste it
The taste is sweet, so taste it
So I said 'I understand
I'm dancing as fast as I can.'Maybe we're just shooting stars
Needing something to hold on to
But each thing we touch seems to vanish

Like candles and friends
They burn at both ends[Chorus]He said, 'I'll see you around.'
And as I brushed my hair
I winked and said, 'you might.'
'Cause I know by now how it's done
After all the mornings after
And all the nights[Chorus]
