Bright lights and funny clowns

Hammin'it up on the circus grounds

Horses, big parade

Such a pretty sight

This love we made

From way up here,

Life's just a ball

With you by my side,

Love is worth the fall

So we're tap dancing on a highwire

We could go tumbling down

But something makes me

Want to go higher

Think it's having you around

Oh, get a look at us playing with fire

Oh, we're tap dancing on a highwire

Big applause,

From the crowd out there

Watching our hearts hang in mid-air

No strings and no fear

Keeps our love suspended up here

We know we could lose our balance and fall

But a heart that don't dance

Ain't a real heart at all
