The first time I heard Italian singer Elisa Toffoli's "Dancing" it was accompanied by some great choreography on the show So You Think You Can Dance. The following year SYTYCD used the song yet again and shortly after "Dancing" became a hit in the US. After the first listen I was a big fan of Elisa and took the time to get my hands on all of her music. "Dancing" comes from Elisa'a third album Then Comes the Sun. It was hard for me to pick one song to feature, the whole album is a masterpiece in my eyes. The video is Elisa singing "Dancing" in a lower key than the album's version. The notes aren't as high, but I like this rendition of the song.
Dancing lyrics by Elisa
Time is gonna take my mind and carry it far away where I can fly. The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you. If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears. 'Cause it's all about love and I know better - how life is a waving feather.
So I put my arms around you, around you and I know that I'll be leaving soon. My eyes are on you, they're on you and you see that I can't stop shaking.
No I won't step back, but I'll look down to hide from your eyes. 'Cause what I feel is so sweet And I'm scared that even my own breath oh, could burst it if it were a bubble And I'd better dream if I have to struggle.
So I put my arms around you, around you and I hope that I will do no wrong. My eyes are on you, they're on you and I hope that you won't hurt me.
I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you. No need for anything but music. Music's the reason why I know time still exists. Time still exists. Time still exists. Time still exists.
So I just put my arms around you, around you and I hope that I will do no wrong. My eyes are on you, they're on you and I hope that you won't hurt me. My arms around you, they're around you and I hope that I will do no wrong. My eyes are on you, they're on you, they're on you. My eyes..
