lyrics

It’s Just A Dance

It’s just a dance this thing we do
We spin around we make our moves
It’s give and take it’s win and lose
Sometimes we fall
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me weak you make me strong
You make me feel like I belong
You make me feel

Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me

I want to live I want to grow
I want to let my feelings show
I want to spend my life with you
There so much I want to do
Too many songs I haven’t sung
Too many riddles left undone
Like the waves upon the shore
I know there’s so much more

Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me

Inst.

Sometimes I feel an angel has given me wings
Sometimes the night makes me think about too many things.

Breakdown over 1st verse

Hold me (It’s just a dance)
Hold me (We make our moves)
Hold me (Sometimes we fall)
Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
