Story Behind The Song
I promised my sister that I'd write a song for her on her wedding day. My first attempt wasn't that exciting, so I tried for something different a few days before the big event. I was happy with this, and so was she!

Lyrics
THE FOREVER DANCE
take the center of the floor
with the one you adore
husband and wife forever more
first the left then the right
when to follow when to guide
lessons you will learn in time
so give a love
give a damn
learning all the moves of the forever dance
when disappointment calls her name
hold her close hold her safe
slow the tempo keep the pace
and when the world weighs him down
grab his hand circle around
carry him to higher ground
so give a love
give a damn
learning all the moves of the forever dance
broken hearts
broken toes
heal fast where love lasts and kindness grows
final words true and sage
from the poet from the stage
as you carry on your way
far from here
for all the better all the worse
coffee stains shrunken shirts
everything matters, everything works
in harmony
so give a love
give a damn
learning all the moves of the forever dance
