Tap Dancing On The Highwire

Ilse De Lange

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

wathcing 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



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
