This is a song I wrote for my lovely wife to show how much I love her. She has a way of making everything alright. She can make me dance when no music is playing, she can make my heart sing and helps me to be the real me. This song is all about that.
It's a gentle ballad mainly involving piano and vocals but with some gorgeous rhythm and strings in there too. It's a lullaby to love.
I hope you enjoy it.
lyrics
Chorus:
Only you can make me dance when no music's playing,
Only you can make me sing: my heart in tune.
Only you can help me see who I am underneath,
Oh darling, only you.
Verse 1:
We could sit and talk for hours together,
TV shows, the news, the weather,
We could walk and walk and see all sorts of things.
What if we skip this old town and go,
To Paris, maybe New York or Rome,
We could drive for days, not see another soul.
Pre-chorus:
I don't care, if I'm with you.
I don't care, if I'm with you.
Chorus:
Only you can make me dance when no music's playing,
Only you can make me sing: my heart in tune.
Only you can help me see who I am underneath,
Oh darling, only you.
Verse 2:
I would play my guitar for hours,
Write a song that's all about us,
I would play the keys on any old piano.
I would sing until I have no voice,
'Cause when I look in your eyes I have no choice,
I just have to sing how beautiful you are,
Oh I just have to sing how beautiful you are!
[Instrumental]
Chorus:
Only you can make me dance,
Only you can make me sing!
Only you can help me see who I am underneath,
Oh darling, only you.
Only you can make me dance when no music's playing,
Only you can make me sing: my heart in tune.
Only you can help me see who I am underneath,
Oh darling, only you.
Outro:
Oh darling, only you.
