Rock And Roll Slow Dance

(album: For You To See The Stars - 2017)

Stars fell down on a small town Saturday
Late one spring
The moon said I'm just a lonely satellite
Dancing on a string
I unzipped the back of a ball gown
I'd never done it before
You laughed and kissed me, wild and carefree
And let it fall to the floor

And then the moon and the stars did a rock and roll slow dance
Like two kids at the prom
Who found first love but lost their innocence
Between midnight and dawn
What a lovely way to start
Even though it broke two hearts
On a rock and roll slow dance

Celestial bodies dance and spin
Van Gogh got it right
When Spring rolls round we dance again
If only in my mind
I go back to that very first time... when

When the moon and the stars did a rock and roll slow dance
Like two kids at the prom
Who found first love but lost their innocence
Between midnight and dawn
We both let our hearts get tangled
That's the way it ought to be
Took new directions, different angles
But I'll remember endlessly

When the moon and the stars did a rock and roll slow dance
Like two kids at the prom
Who found first love but lost their innocence
Between midnight and dawn
What a lovely way to start
Even though it broke two hearts
On a rock and roll slow dance
On a rock and roll slow dance
Rock and roll slow dance
