Lyrics: Jack Murphy



One night in Rio I'll never forget

Rhythms of life so wild and so wet

Suddenly out of the darkness he came

Somehow he knew my name



There in the streets in the carnival roar

He whispered come dance with me

Something inside me like never before

Played such a strange melody...and I'll



Never dance the way that he moved me

Never kiss the way that he kissed me

Never love the way that he loved me

How can I dance now?

Never knew the heat of desire

Never knew the flames could go higher

Never felt the passion, the fire

Now let me dance again



There in his eyes I was lost from the start

Under his spell, losing my heart

Percussion and thunder collided that night

Painting the sky with light



Out of control going out of my mind

I've never felt so free

I left the dancer and Rio behind

But I found the gypsy in me...and I'll Never dance the way that he moved me

Never kiss the way that he kissed me

Never love the way that he loved me

How can I dance now?

Never knew the heat of desire

Never knew the flames could go higher

Never felt the passion, the fire

Now let me dance again



Pecadores y santos seducion y peligro

O-o-oh

Cerrando mis ojos ves el estranger

O-o-oh

Llegando hasta la musica

Sinners and saints and suduction and danger

O-o-oh

Closing her eyes she can still see the stranger

O-o-oh

Rising up to the music



There in the streets in the carnival roar

He whispered come dance with me

Something inside me like never before

Played such a strange melody...and I'll



Never dance the way that he moved me

Never kiss the way that he kissed me

Never love the way that he loved me

How can I dance now?

Never knew the heat of desire

Never knew the flames could go higher

Never felt the passion, the fire

Now let me dance again
