Brick by brick, we were building days
Trading our time for a chance
Long commute, small town paychecks
Still we trusted in the dance
Painted the walls of a borrowed place
Turned the echoes into song
We were dancing the life fantastic
Through the lean years, through the fear
Spinning hope like bright elastic
Turning scars to souvenirs
Step by step through all the ages
We were dancing life fantastic
Tiny hands in morning light
Crayons scattered a joyful sight
Packing lunches, school bells chime
Echoes of a cherished time
Suitcases by the open door
Waving as they soar
Empty rooms hold fading grace
Learning how to love the space
We were dancing the life fantastic
Through the quiet, through the change
Trading noise for something classic
Letting love rearrange
Step by step through all the ages
We were dancing life fantastic
Calendars clear and the clocks slow down
Golden dust in window beams
Morning walks where the sidewalks end
Coffee cups and distant dreams
Sorting through boxes of yesterdays
Pictures worn at every edge
We are dancing the life fantastic
In the soft light of the years
Holding hands through change so drastic
Tracing joy through all the tears
Step by step through all the ages
We are dancing life fantastic
We'll keep dancing the life fantastic
To the music still unknown
In the mystery, in the magic
We will not walk alone
Hand in hand into the next step
We'll keep dancing life fantastic
