We two in tempo waltz through the world
Swirling in rhythm and rhyme
Dancing in limbo we become one
The sound of our heartbeat keeps time

Safe in the harbor in a bed made of waves
Which dreams shall we choose tonight
Gently we roll as the anchor lets go
And we drift off to sail in the moonlight

One-two-three, I can see everything under the stars
If you see nothing then nowhere is just where you are
Follow me, I will lead, just this once have faith in me
Lay down beside me and close your eyes then you will see

Don’t ever wake me, I want to remain
Dancing in limbo, waltzing in the rain
Covered in flowers, I’m waiting for you
As they fall to the floor, they paint the night blue

We two in tempo waltz through the world
Swirling in rhythm and rhyme
Dancing in limbo we become one
The sound of our heartbeat keeps time

We live parallel lives – so deceptive – our perfection
We do just what we need to get by - undetected
Unless you look deep – deep into our eyes
Behind the photo frame smiles – into our parallel lives
We are moving straight ahead – in step, in time, in space – and yet
We don’t cross – we don’t’ connect - our united front presented for affect

So the days flow - and the years go - sailing past
Will we dare to make a turn and change our path – reunite at last
We’ve lived parallel lives for so long – it seems normal
We’ve learned to stop asking why and pretend we don’t notice
Until we look deep – deep into our eyes
Behind the photo frame smiles – into our parallel lives

Gone to Glory

Today he said goodbye
And through his tears he asked “Why?”
Although he knows more riches than all the world’s gold awaits – awaits

Gone is her earthly pain
Now only angel’s refrain
Time to let go – it’s so hard though he knows
A better life awaits – a better life awaits

Gone, gone, gone to glory
The end of the story is it never ends
Gone, gone, gone to glory
Hallelujah, hallelujah – amen

Now her race is run – so much left undone
Left on his own – so all alone
He can’t believe that she’s gone

Gone, gone, gone to glory
The end of the story is it never ends
Gone, gone, gone to glory
Hallelujah, hallelujah – amen

The rose he kept has dried
Like all the tears that he cried
The sun fills the sky every morning he tries
To carry on his way – to carry on his way

Ten Cents a Dance

Take off your coat and stay awhile – it’s just ten cents a dance
If you’re sweet I’ll let you by me a drink & pretend it’s a real romance
If you’re lonely, you’ve come to the right place
You’re a good kid – I can tell by your face

Followed a boy from Omaha – thought it was my big chance
He’s long gone and I’m still here at ten cents a dance
Wrote to momma – but there’s no word from home
Never dreamed I could feel so alone

Out on the floor we’re sure to feel okay again
We can lose our blues in the music – find our way with the rhythm
What do you say? What do you say?

Got two more nights to make my rent at ten cents a dance
I’m just scraping by in this big apple pie at ten cents a dance
If I’m lucky, some swell will come in
Top hat and tails – discreet with his gin

Out on the floor we’re sure to feel okay again
We can lose our blues in the music – find our way with the rhythm
What do you say? What do you say?

Saving my pennies to make my escape
Got my heart set on Paris, France
It’s a long, long way away but I know that I can’t stay
Selling my soul a piece at a time – for nickels and dimes

Out on the floor we’re sure to feel okay again
We can lose our blues in the music – find our way with the rhythm
What do you say? What do you say?
