Here I am with some time on my hands And I haven't got lines for just a minute or two Something easy crosses my mind, when I recall When love was new You went your way and I went mine And our lives seldom cross but when they do Can't help rememberin' all of the times When love was new When love was new We were dancing in the dark (Dancing in the dark) Just a couple of fools Holding you close and Breaking all the rules Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues I'm not lonely and my life's quite complete And my lady is sweet, the children are fat Just in passing, you cross my mind and I look up All about the time... When we were dancing in the dark (Dancing in the dark) Just a couple of fools Holding you close and Breaking all the rules Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues Something about the past was quite amusing You can change it any way with ease As I'm sitting here and thinking of you Do you know what I really need? When we were dancing in the dark (Dancing in the dark) Just a couple of fools Holding you close and Breaking all the rules Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues Everything gets covered by those first love's blues.
