Lyrics

Dancing Shoes

[Chorus]

I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight

Ten thousand people waiting for me

I can hear them outside from the curtain I sit behind

The drums kick in and the lights go down

My heartbeat drowns out the sound

My hands go up, I sing my song

And a thousand voices sing along

[Verse 1]

I used to lay awake

Hear a crowd roar to every word I say

Now the stars, they used to shine so bright

They were all replaced by candle lights

And they grow, whoa

Makes it harder to find the places that we know

[Chorus]

I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight

Ten thousand people waiting for me

I can hear them outside from the curtain I sit behind

The drums kick in and the lights go down

My heartbeat drowns out the sound

My hands go up, I sing my song

And a thousand voices sing along

[Post-Chorus]

Can you hear? Close your eyes

Hearts are racing side by side

For you I sing, I sing for you

For you, I wear these dancing shoes

I wear these dancing shoes

[Bridge]

Are you out there? Can you hear me?

Are you out there? Can you hear me?

Are you out there? Can you hear me?

Are you out there? Can you hear me?

[Chorus]

I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight

Ten thousand people waiting for me

I can hear them outside

[Post-Chorus]

Can you hear? Close your eyes

Hearts are racing side-by-side

For you I sing, I sing for you

For you, I wear these dancing shoes

I wear these dancing shoes

I wear these dancing shoes
