Lyrics

boy is singing a sad one
because his lover is gone
he might be down on his knees now
all he's got is a song
but at least he can dance to it
at least he can dance to it
'cause we might as well laugh as cry
might as well live as die
there's time and there's you and I
at least we can dance

my mama told me she loved me
and for the most part she did
life can be rough on a woman alone
but she'd be good to her kid
if she had another chance to do it
if she had another chance
but we might as well laugh as cry
might as well live as die
there's time and there's you and I
at least we can dance

at least we can dance
to the rhythm of
unbending circumstance
if I can breathe, I can dance
give me harmony or dissonance
I'll find a way to dance

I knew a man with a wheelchair
he could have been bitter with pride
but he listened close to his heartbeat
found the rhythm inside
and he learned how to dance to it
he found he could dance to it
because we might as well laugh as cry
might as well live as die
there's time and there's you and I
at least we can dance

at least we can dance
