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



(Chorus)

So we're tap dancing on a highwire

We could go tumbling down

But something makes me want to 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 of 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 haert that don't dance

Ain't a real haert at all



(Chorus
