It is a funny thing relationships, sometimes you can be together with the one you love and yet there may has well be an ocean between you. Was it something that you said, did they think that you were looking at someone else or do they think that there is something going on between you and someone else? You are trying your best to have a romantic evening and yet nothing you have done has got through. The night is almost over, the final song is about to be played, I guess you should be grateful that you both lasted the night, there is just this one chance that you can melt the walls of ice between you in one slow dance.

Verse One
Its the end of the night and the band’s going to play the last song.
It’s the very last chance that we’re going to get, so come on.
You’ve been sat there all night, it’s the very last song, tell me what is wrong
You tell me that you’re feeling tired, well rest your head on my shoulder.

Chorus
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you,
I want to be with you for the last song.

Verse Two
Well the outside world is full of lonely souls just searching for someone to love
and it don’t care if one of us should die tomorrow.
Darling reach for my hand, understand, it’s a chance that we two should take.
No strings attached, I just want to dance with you.

Chorus
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you,
I want to be with you for the last song.

Mid
I want to dance, I want to dance, I want to truly romance you.
I want to dance this night away.
With you in my arms the night won’t feel the same.
There is something in your eyes that tells me that you want to,
so come on let’s take this chance.
Put down your defences and rest your little body against mine.

Chorus
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you,
I want to be with you for the last song.

RECORDING NOTES

The song is very much inspired by watching old american romantic movies and listening to Bruce Springsteen. There has been a few recordings of this song over the years and I am working on a new recording which hopefully will be released this year.
