Lyrics of
FLASHDANCE... WHAT A FEELING
performed by

Irene Cara



    From "What a feeling" 1983




What A Feeling.... Flashdance

First, when there's nothing
but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried
silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel,
made of stone
Where I hear the music,
close my eyes,
feel the rhythm
Wrap around,
take a hold of my heart
(Chorus:)
What a feeling,
being's believing'
I can't have it all,
now I'm dancing' for my life
Take your passion,
and make it happen
Pictures come alive,
you can dance right through your life
(Solo)
Now I hear the music,
close my eyes,
I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold of my heart
Chorus (with ... "now I'm dancing through my life")
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now), being's believing' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call, call, call, what a feeling) I can have it all
(Being's believing') being's believing'
(Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen
(What a feeling) what a feeling...  (to fade)
