Here I am with some time on my hands
And I haven't got lines for just a minute or two
Something easy crosses my mind, when I recall
When love was new

You went your way and I went mine
And our lives seldom cross but when they do
Can't help rememberin' all of the times
When love was new
When love was new

We were dancing in the dark
(Dancing in the dark)
Just a couple of fools
Holding you close and
Breaking all the rules
Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues

I'm not lonely and my life's quite complete
And my lady is sweet, the children are fat
Just in passing, you cross my mind and I look up
All about the time...

When we were dancing in the dark
(Dancing in the dark)
Just a couple of fools
Holding you close and
Breaking all the rules
Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues

Something about the past was quite amusing
You can change it any way with ease
As I'm sitting here and thinking of you
Do you know what I really need?

When we were dancing in the dark
(Dancing in the dark)
Just a couple of fools
Holding you close and
Breaking all the rules
Doesn't everything get covered by those first love's blues
Everything gets covered by those first love's blues
