Music by elton john Lyrics by tim rice From the soundtrack the road to el dorado I see you in the distance and I see us as we are So nearly so contented but a careless word too far I see you in confusion for a once enchanted boy My heart dances, oh oh, but not for joy I longed to love you better but I swear I don't know how You could have been my future but I had to have it now The things we love completely we are fated to destroy My heart dances, oh oh, but not for joy It's easy to be certain that another's heart will fall Much harder to be certain of your own It moves you, and inspires you then it drives you to the wall And leaves you so excited but alone My heart dances, oh oh My heart dances, oh oh My heart dances, oh oh, but not for joy But not for joy But not for joy But not for joy
