FLASHDANCE...WHAT A FEELING (FLASHDANCE, 1983)

One of the definitive dance movies of the '80s is Flashdance starring the ever youthful looking Jennifer Beals. Irene Cara sang the very upbeat and 'dance-'til-you-drop' tune Flashdance...What A Feeling.

FLASHDANCE…WHAT A FEELING

sung by: Irene Cara

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

Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm

Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling, bein’s believin’

I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life

Take your passion, and make it happen

Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm

In a flash it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, bein’s believin’

I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life

Take your passion, and make it happen

Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life

What a feeling!

(INSTRUMENTAL)

What a feeling (I am music now), bein’s believin’ (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

(Bein’s believin’) bein’s believin’

(Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen

(What a feeling) what a feeling... …
