Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From too much talk to silent touches
Sweet touches
We turned our hearts to love, then tried it
First time romance
[Verse 2]
There, in the quiet
Love learns to dance
[Verse 3]
We loved, we slept, we left the lights on
The night's gone
And morning finds us caught in life's
Most sensible trance
[Verse 4]
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance
[Verse 5]
Old souls find new life
In hearts that are listenin' like ours
And old dreams find young wings
In silence, in silence
[Verse 6]
From too much talk to loving touches
Love touches
When pure emotion takes the moment
We take the chance
[Verse 7]
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance
Love wants to
Dance
Written by: Gilson Peranzzetta, Lins Ivan Guimaraes, Paul Williams
