    Lyrics »

I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of ... time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of ... mine

Will I need her, will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground ?
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

(Jeremy:)
Must I stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go

Will I need her, will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground ?
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

(Danny:)
I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of ... time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of ... mine

Will I need her, will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground ?
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

(Jeremy:)
I won't stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go
