As the previous poster said, she is talking about what she has done in her life for her love of dance.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Right before she starts singing the song, Zach says something to the dancers along the lines of,
"What would you do if you couldn't dance anymore?"
(Someone can correct me with the exact line.)

Zach asks:
"What would you do if you couldn't dance anymore?
How would you feel?"
Morales replies:
"Kiss today good-bye..."
It's the message of the show.

"What I did for Love." in other words:
What I gave up to pursue a life in the arts; stability, financial security, relationships - the sacrifice to be an artist.
The rest of the song is about how she will have no regrets about making those choices, even when the time comes when she can no longer be a dancer.

Not only dance but for those of us in the audience who may not be performers, by extension metaphorically, it's a paean to ANY passion one has pursued for the sheer love and joy it's given you over and beyond any potential financial, career or practical benefit it might have also conferred. If you've ever made a sacrifice in order to do something you loved, regardless of any other consideration, this song should speak to you.

I personally always identified more with the alternate lyrics to the song:
"Kiss lamae goodbye. The sequins that I borrowed..."

Oh for the love of satan, how do you not understand? It simply means she has no regrets about the choices she has made with regards to her career as a dancer. It's not a difficult song to understand.

And she was always holding up acting class by whining "I'm not feeling it". Cripes, how hard is it to be an ice cream cone and melt?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
