Follow me into my world
Let your worries fade with every
step you take
Baby whatcha' waiting for
Let the tango take control
Feel the music inside your soul (Oh)
My hand is out, just grab a hold
Watch time fade away
My arms will keep you safe
It's just you and me
Dancing in this dream
Whatever you do, don't wake me up
The feeling's real won't let it
stop, no
CHORUS
Don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Pudemos bailar eternamente
Trust in me, take a chance
Feel the Tango
When you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente
Now I have you next to me
Everything is how it should be
Baby, don't fight the feeling
We're floating on the clouds
If I could, I'd never come back down
Baby just keep on groovin'
As time fades away
My arms will keep you safe
It's just you and me
Dancing in this dream
WHatever you do, don't wake me up
The feeling's real, won't let it
stop, no
CHORUS
Don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente
Trust in me, take a chance
Feel the Tango
When you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente
Dance with me
(I'm dancing with you)
For this moment in time
(My dreams have come true)
My darling just dance with me
If only one night
CHORUS
Don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente
Trust in me, take a chance
Feel the Tango
When you dance, dance with me
