Dancing in the Starlight (Original Song #24)

The reason I wrote this song is because all I ever seem to write my songs about anymore are depressing, sad, stressful things in my life and the lives of the people around me. I really felt like I needed a more upbeat and happy song for a change.

This song is about those moments with friends that just make everything seem okay even when the rest of your life isn't.

Verse:

Can we break away, break away for one night?
Just a day, I swear that we'll be alright
Leave the stress, leave the stress for another time
'Cause tonight is just about you and I

Run away, run away at the speed of light
It's only time until we can touch the sky
Live it up, live it up while you're by my side
'Cause you know we're only given one life

Prechorus:
And I don't wanna waste it now
Look up there's not a single cloud in sight
Darling, we're dancing in the starlight

Chorus:
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight

Verse:
Can we forget, forget all our troubles here?
I'll be alright knowing I got you near
The real world, real world can't bring me down
It's okay, as long as I got you around

Prechorus:
And I don't wanna waste it now
Look up there's not a single cloud in sight
Darling, we're dancing in the starlight

Chorus:
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight

Prechorus:
I don't wanna waste it now
Look up there's not a single cloud in sight
Darling, we're dancing in the starlight

Chorus:
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
Oh, we don't need the sunshine
Dancing in the starlight
