Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[Slow Piano]
[Soft Male Voice]
I’ve known it for a while now
And I’ve known it long ago.
As the lights begin raining down
To see this great big show
The song, the dance, the light
As it yearns for me, it shines ever so bright
The feeling that pulled me in a way
That I’d never imagined the dismay.
He walked right past me.
On his merry way.
But the urgency of the feeling
Made my heart begin to sway.
In the instant, this party faded away.
In that moment, my heart paved a way
I’ve never known in that moment
In that fleeting hour
That is what began to transpire
And would lead the world to conspire
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Verse 2]
[Slow Piano]
[Soft Male Voice]
In the coming weeks, I’d feel it again
The growing feeling with more passing men
But no more did I see them go
I could only see him.
But did I hope they’ll pass
Find their love and they’ll dance.
Sooner or later I hope to find
That one man who caught my trance.
Weeks passed, and the carnival faded away.
And he never came back to my dismay,
I look around, confused and dazed.
Was it love at first sight or was I at a mistake?
Did he love in the same way I did?
The same gender, but with the same soul.
Would he consider me a partner?
Or would the damage take its toll?
[Chorus]
The song, the dance, the light
As it yearns for me, it shines ever so bright
The feeling that pulled me in a way
That I’d never imagined the dismay.
He walked right past me.
On his merry way.
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
[Repeat 2x]
The song, the dance, the light
As it yearns for me, it shines ever so bright
The feeling that pulled me in a way
That I’d never imagined the dismay.
He walked right past me.
On his merry way.
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
I’ve felt like this for a while now,
I know my parents would disagree.
This is a stage now,
I’m passing through a momentary fantasy.
But I don’t think it’s true.
This feeling fleets my heart,
And suddenly I see him again.
I get up with a start.
It’s now or never.
Will he know me,
Can he finally set me free
And be the wings I need?
Or perhaps, can I set him free?
To see his dull grin
Go from an ache to form a smile.
Perhaps he’ll want to talk with me for a while.
Or to pass me off like some sort of Sin?
[Soft Piano Solo]
I’ve heard it too many times to count.
I’ve got no chance,
Not where it counts.
I need to love a woman,
Only she can set me free.
And yet looking at him,
My heart is filled with glee.
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
[Repeat 2x]
The song, the dance, the light
As it yearns for me, it shines ever so bright
The feeling that pulled me in a way
That I’d never imagined the dismay.
He walked right past me.
On his merry way.
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Verse 4]
I step towards him,
My legs fill with stone.
I can’t get him out of my mind,
Why do I feel so alone?
I’m scared, but I’m strong.
I’m worried, but I’m brave.
Will he know my feelings?
Or am I being led astray?
I take another step.
I lean a little closer.
His back is to me now.
And I reach for his shoulder.
My heart fills with ice.
It shrivels up and dries.
But he shoots me down with his glance.
With his warm, kind eyes.
[Soft Piano Solo]
[Verse 5]
He looks at me, my weird posture and all.
He backs up and looks away.
I’ve lost it all.
Perhaps I was too quick.
Maybe he’s not like me?
But he looks back at me,
Flustered like paint.
And I realize now,
That I’ve found my saint.
He steps closer to me, and pulls me into a hug.
And says to me something that hangs up above.
He says, “Please forgive me. I’ve been thinking about you all week,
And I think I’m falling in love.”
My mind begins to race,
My heart begins to pace,
As my thoughts begin to relay,
That like me, lost in this world,
The only one I’ve ever truly loved,
Also happens to be gay.
[Piano Fades]
[End]
That like me, lost in this world,
The only one I’ve ever truly loved,
Also... happens to be gay.
