Story Behind The Song

You do not know till the end of the song that the girl in the song has died. The first two verses and chorus just let you know how wonderfull she was and how she loved to dance. In the third verse it is revealed that she has passed away and at her wake everyone is silent and at a loss until someone says "She Loved to Dance".

Song Description

Reflecting on a friend who has passed away and how she loved to dance. This girl had a wonderfull lively spirit and everyone misses her.

Lyrics

SHE LOVED TO DANCE


She was a girl you couldn?t keep down
I never once heard her complain
She kinda walked on top of water
Even when it was going down the drain
It was so much fun to be her friend
When you were down, she?d lift you up again

And she loved to dance
She had different moves for every song she danced
And she could go the whole night long
If she wanted to be happy when things were going wrong
She would dance
Cause she loved to dance

She had a crazy way of talking
Like she was putting on a show
She had a thousand imitations
Kept you in stitches on the phone
She had the fire of a thoroughbred
She?d say ?Hey! Let?s go out and paint this whole town red!?

Chorus

She lived like every moment mattered
For that girl, every moment did
They said it ended on the highway
She hit black ice, went into a skid
We all gathered at her Mom?s house
Held each other up, feeling dazed
Struggling to find the perfect tribute
?Til someone broke the silence to say??.

Chorus
