[Intro]
She said, I don't usually dance this close to strangers
You know a girl can't be too careful with her heart
But I saw you and thought that you looked harmless
But when you smile that way I'm not so sure you are

[Verse]
I said, I don't usually come here for the dancing
You can tell that by the way I move
When I saw you I thought that it was hopeless
But I just had to ask you for a dance or two

[Chorus]
Somewhere in the stars it must be written
Girl, we've got to take this chance that we've been given
If there's a heaven here on earth I think we've found it
If this is not love we're dancing all around it

[Bridge]
The music stopped and we're still holding each other
This feels like the beginning of forever

[Chorus]
Somewhere in the stars it must be written
Girl we've got to take this chance that we've been given
If there's a heaven here on earth I think we've found it
If this is not love we're dancing all around it
If this is not love we're dancing all around it

[Outro]
She said I don't usually dance this close to strangers
