One Step Closer Lyrics by Disney’s The Little Mermaid on Broadway

The Little Mermaid Broadway OST

2008

[PRINCE ERIC] (spoken)
Who needs words? Dancing beats small talk any day. It's the way your feet smile. Or laugh. It lets you say so many things.
[ERIC] (sung)
DANCING IS A LANGUAGE
THAT IS FELT INSTEAD OF HEARD
YOU CAN WHISPER, SING OR SHOUT
WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WORD
[ERIC] (spoken)
Try it, go on,
[ERIC] (sung)
LIKE SO...
JUST LET YOUR EMOTIONS
TELL YOUR BODY WHAT TO DO
SEE HOW MUCH A SINGLE GESTURE CAN REVEAL!
AND EV'RY LITTLE STEP, EV'RY SINGLE STEP
IS ONE STEP CLOSER
TO SAYING WHAT YOU FEEL
ONCE THE MUSIC HITS YOU,
INHIBITIONS FALL AWAY
AND YOU FIND THAT YOU'RE EXPRESSING THINGS
YOUR VOICE DAREN'T SAY
DON'T BE AFRAID, LET GO
SOON AS YOU SURRENDER,
WHAT'S INSIDE WILL SWEEP ON THROUGH
AS THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN US DISAPPEAR
AND EV'RY LITTLE STEP, EV'RY SINGLE STEP
IS ONE STEP CLOSER
TO TALKING LOUD AND CLEAR
A DANCE IS LIKE A CONVERSATION
EXCEPT YOU NEVER NEED TO MAKE A SOUND
AND ONCE YOU'VE BEGUN
YOU SPEAK AS ONE
GIVE AND TAKE
BACK AND FORTH
ROUND AND ROUND
(instrumental break)
A DANCE IS LIKE A CONVERSATION
EXCEPT YOUR LIPS DON'T EVER NEED TO PART
AND ONCE YOU'VE BEGUN
YOU SPEAK AS ONE
CHEEK TO CHEEK
TOE TO TOE
HEART TO HEART
DANCING IS A LANGUAGE
THAT IS FELT INSTEAD OF HEARD
BUT IT SAYS MUCH MORE
THAN LANGUAGE EVER COULD
AND EV'RY LITTLE STEP
EV'RY SINGLE STEP
IS ONE STEP CLOSER...
ONE STEP CLOSER...
ONE STEP CLOSER
TO BEING
UNDERSTOOD
