For one night of my life
I was living it free
In a new world of love
It was just you and me
For one night of my life
I could have my fun
I could live it to the fullest
Until the night was done
When I first took your hand
I felt something right there
A person who was different
Full of love, tenderness and care
When I stepped onto the floor
I felt a sensational touch
And when I looked into your eyes
My heart made a clutch
We held each other close
And together took a chance
Under the shining starlight
We shared our first dance
Gliding on the hardwood
Shifting our feet
I would twirl in and out
Then again we would meet
Walking in a pattern
We'd stride a dance coined
Parting at our slow pace
And once again be rejoined
The magic in the movements
Were beginning to shroud
All the wonder filled around us
Like dancing on a cloud
It may not mean as much
To these people or even you
But I learned something that night
That love is alive and true
And I was loved by you
For one night of my life
I could feel no pain
All the hate around me
Was beginning to drain
And for one night of my life
I knew I was cared for
No hurt or abuse that night
I think you opened a lock door
