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 go 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 out there  Watching our hearts hang in mid-air  No strings and no fear  Keeps our love suspended up here  We know we could go lose our balance and fall  but a heart that don't dance  Ain't a real heart at all  Chorus
