Bright lights and funny clowns
hammin' it up to the circus grounds
horses, big parade
such a pretty sight, this love we made
From way up here, life's just a ball
with you by my side, love is worth the fall

Chorus:
So we're tap dancing on the highwire
we could go tumbling down
but something makes me go higher
think it's having you around
oh, get a look at us playing with fire
oh, we're tap dancing on the highwire

Big applause, from the crowd out there
watching our hearts in mid-air
no strings and no fear
keeps or love suspended up here
We know we could lose our balance and fall
but a heart that don't dance
ain't a real heart at all

- Chorus -
