"When You Dance I Can Really Love" is the ninth track on Neil Young's 1970 album After the Gold Rush. It was written by Young.
It was released as a single in the U.S. in 1971, reaching #93 in the Billboard charts.
It was also released as a single in Japan.
The official Neil Young website gives the title as "When You Dance I Can Really Love"; however, the CD release (US catalogue number 2283-2, Europe 7599-27243-2) has the title misprinted as "When You Dance You Can Really Love." The correct title appears on other albums, such as Live Rust. It also appears in Young's handwritten lyrics included with some copies of the album.
Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or love:
“I’ll dance above your green, green grave
Where you do lie beneath.””

“Sweet Cupid’s shafts, like destiny,
Doth causeless good or ill decree.
Desert is born out of his bow,
Reward upon his wing doth go.
What fools are they that have not known
That Love likes no laws but his own!”
