Put your arm around my waist
Lay my head against your shoulder
As the music softly plays
The night stops growing older
All my dreams are finally coming true
As I’m dancing, dancing here with you

You always lead with your heart
Don’t you darling
You open up and waltz right on in
When everyone else is afraid to let love start
Oh, you always lead with your heart

In a world where nothing lasts
And no one’s taking chances
Time goes by so fast
Who remembers what romance is
Somewhere there’s a heart
With the strength to believe
And I found it — right here on your sleeve

You always lead with your heart
Don’t you darling
You shine with your own special light
When everyone else is dancing in the dark
Oh, you always lead with your heart

When I need someone to hold
I know you’ll be there
And if time should turn you cold
You know that you’ll find me there

Chorus
