I Believe In You

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown
They'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you

They, they show me to the door
They say don't come back no more
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to
And I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter
I believe in you even though we be apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart

Don't let me drift too far
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you

I believe in you when winter turn to summer
I believe in you when white turn to black
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back

Don't let me change my heart
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you

The Dancing Floor

Beside the braes of dawn
One clear new morning
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
A wind just passing through
So we dared to stay
In these golden ways
We never never knew what to do
And the world kept coming screaming
All its news at me
Well, now I've got news for you

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved

No nothing's all that it seems
In the strands and the waves
Our steps renewed our lips confess
We were stranded at the alter of unknown delights
Down on the road to happiness
And as the sunlight fills
The highland hills
It's all become so clear somehow
That the days we spend
Were not made to end
We stand forever in their glow

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With the fool that I'd become

Now the hours are few
And the days can be so cruel (so cruel)
Yes, the nights are getting long (the nights are getting long)
And that joy that you would always bring
It'll always keep me strong

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With the fool that I'd become
