I can't believe nobody has commented on this song yet...absolutely beautiful!

I think its pretty self-explanatory, he is back stage (perhaps waiting to go on) observing a dancer amongst a group of dancers, and is taken back by her beauty. He also describes the shared feeling of what it feels like to perform in front of an audience. However, At the end he feels that perhaps the dancer's beauty is so profound it shouldn't be released, maybe so he can have the satisfaction of being the only one who has seen it.
