My good friend Joe and his wife Gloria lived near us a few years ago. They are a dear couple, Nashville Natives and UT Orange crazy. I miss seeing them. Joe knew that I liked to write songs and one day he said he had a thought around a song he would like me to write. He and Gloria like to dance. The concept of the song was perpendicular motion leading to horizontal desire. Hmmm… I thought on it and came up with a rhythmic melody and words to go with it. It can definitely apply to dance, perpendicular motion, and the desires that can be stirred up. In marriage, our daily interaction with each other is our Perpendicular Motion. Life and time can easily turn early love into mundane and boring. The concept is to keep it alive and fresh so the romance does not fade. So read on and see if I captured this idea.
1) She dreams about romance as he rushes out the door
Wishing he’d stay awhile and hold her in his arms
There was a time when they would laugh the night away
Together they’d dance beneath the stars
C) Perpendicular motion leads to horizontal desire
When two hearts move as one
Melodious magic casts its’ spell igniting inner fires
That never would have kindled on its’ own
2) Too many years of yearning, searching for the means
To tenderly show her that his love for her is strong
If only he’d go back to the time when love was new
Remembering how it felt to hold her all night long
Bridge) So dance the night away
Letting the music move your soul
Feel the rhythmic sway
Drawing out love that makes you whole
