Dancing in the Rain

I want to see you dancing
dancing in the rain
I want to hear you
so badly it aches
just thinking of you

I want to see you smiling
smiling just for me
I want to feel you
touching my hand
so lightly it hurts

I want to make you happy
dancing in the rain
touching my heart
more than you know
turning me inside out

I want to join you
dancing in the rain
holding you close
feeling your heart beat
against my own chest

I want to tell you freely
how I feel, without fear
that you will turn away
knowing you feel as deeply
the same about me

I want, yes, but what
do you want
dancing in the downpour
twirling in joyous abandon
soaking in the rain

I wish I could pour my love
as freely as the raindrops
and have you dancing
dancing in the rain
soaking up my love.
