When I Dance for You Songtext
von Dennis DeYoung

- Esmerelda -
People will say beware she′s a gypsy
A liar a beggar a thief, a witch and a shrew
Don't let her into your life
She′ll weave her black magic
And sooner or later
A spell will be cast over you

But look in my eyes
And see there's no evil
No daughter of Satan
No mistress of darkness and sin
I'm just a poor girl
Who dances and sings for your pleasure
And the joy that I see in your eyes when the music begins
And the love that I feel in my heart when the dancing begins


For each time I dance
I forget all my pain
I spin and I twirl
And then suddenly nothing′s the same
I′m no longer the orphan of gypsies and thieves
No prejudice waiting to hurt me
I'm magically free

So when I dance for you
I′ll make you believe that it's just for your
I′ll dance for you and sing you a sweet lullaby
But in my secret dream
A man comes to rescue me
And then he takes me into his arms and there I will stay
And the music will play

So when I dance for you
I'll make you believe that it′s just for your
I'll dance for you and sing you a sweet lullaby
But in my secret dream
A man comes to rescue me
And then he takes me in to his arms and there I will stay, I'll stay
I′ll stay
