Dance With Life (the Brilliant Light) Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

I was thinking out loud 

One life's such a short time for love 

When a match made in heaven arrives 

Eternity is never enough 

It's all been so simple 'til now 

There's no brilliance like beauty out there 

No knowledge as wise as the heart 

We all need reason to care 

I need to dance with life 

Sweep you away into the night 

When there is no one else around 

I will make every day count 

We need to dance with life 

Swim in the soul of your eyes 

'til we melt into the night 

We need to dance with life 

And we leave a brilliant light behind 

We could lay on the ground 

We could look at that light in the sky 

Show the moon and the million stars 

The stars that we become when we die 

I need to dance with life 

Sweep you away into the night 

When there is no one else around 

I will make every day count 

We need to dance with life 

Swim in the soul of your eyes 

'til we melt into the night 

We need to dance with life 

And we leave a brilliant light behind 

It's no secret how I feel 

This flesh and bone I love you is sealed 

To cover me up and hide the deal 

And the deal with me 

To dance with life 

Breathe the sweet fresh air 

And make every second your last 

And I'll touch you from the world I wake in 

Make the most of the present and the past 

I need to dance with life 

Sweep you away into the night 

When there is no one else around 

I will make every day count 

We need to dance with life 

Swim in the soul of your eyes 

'til we melt into the night 

We need to dance with life 

And we leave a brilliant light behind
