Bright lights and funny clowns
Hammin\' it up on 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 a highwire
We could go tumbling down
But something makes me want to higher
Think it\'s having you around
Oh, get a look at us playing with fire
Oh, we\'re tap dancing on a highwire

Big applause, from the crowd of there
Watching our hearts hang in mid-air
No strings and no fear
Keeps our love suspended up here

We know we could lose our balance and fall
But a haert that don\'t dance
Ain\'t a real haert at all

(Chorus)
