Story Behind The Song
I was watching an elderly couple dance at a wedding and couldn't help but notice how much they enjoyed dancing together. I thought, I don't want to wait until I am as old as these people are -- I want that now (why wait).

Lyrics
Time flies, out of sight
So much missing from this life
I'm not who I am or ever planned to be
Spend all my time counting
But it don't add up
No peace, no quiet, no time for us
Not even the mirror knows it?s me
I can't believe it's come to this
My heart is set on this one wish
Let?s start the dancing years today
We?ve come this far so
We?ve got to believe
God put us in this place
I don't want to be a stranger
And I pray it?s not too late
Let?s start the dancing years today
Let?s start the dancing years today
The first steps under my feet
Feels this way each time we meet
Heads held high we can
touch the sky
I'll lead you as you lead me
Each of us in harmony
To be in your dance
Is all I'll ever need
I can't believe it?s come to this
My heart is set on this one wish
Let?s start the dancing years today
We?ve come this far so
We?ve got to believe
God put us in this place
I don't want to be a stranger
And I pray it?s not too late
Let?s start the dancing years today
Let?s start the dancing years today
We?ve been here before
When we looked for more
And lost our chance
Now we?re back on that floor
And I know for sure
That it?s our dance
Let?s start the dancing years today
We?ve come this far so
We?ve got to believe
God put us in this place
I don't want to be a stranger
And I pray it?s not too late
Let?s start the dancing years today
Let?s start the dancing years today
