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
