AFRAID TO DANCE
© Words and Music: Mark Oates & Donna Aylor

A stunning night
And the restaurant so nice
Warmed with candlelight
And the music from the band

As music plays
I know what you’re going to say
And so I hesitate
As you hold out your hand

CHORUS
I’M AFRAID TO DANCE
OF HOLDING YOU SO CLOSE
AFRAID TO FEEL
THE LOVE I LONG FOR MOST

AFRAID YOU’LL BREAK
WHAT’S SAFE BEHIND THESE WALLS

AFRAID TO DANCE
AFRAID TO FEEL
AFRAID TO FALL

It could be
Your arms are meant for me
But there’s no guarantee
Cause I’ve danced before

In the end
Love was not my friend
And this time I might not mend
If I step on the floor

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
This could be the right decision
If I stay I’ll never know
So I’ll take you into my heart even though
REPEAT CHORUS
