Story Behind The Song
This song was an exercise for me as a songwriter...I wanted to emulate and channel the great Antonio Carlos Jobim who was the master of the bossa nova...and lyrically I wanted to express a subject everyone understands...falling in love...

Lyrics
Rose Petals are About to Dance With Me
C.2012 words and music by Lenore Troia
When I look into your eyes
I'm breathless and so paralyzed
I'm trying so hard to disguise e-mo---tions
Is this an il-lusion that I'm so lost inside of
Or is this a vision that will lead us both to love,
Can't find my way out of this trance
Hopelessly lost in romance
Rose petals are about to dance with me
Trying hard to take in every mo-ment
Savor every detail in my mind
And as I take my fill
And cherish every thrill
While time is standing still
I'm holding on until
I can pull you next to me
And hold you close until you see
How deep inside of me are my e-mo--tions
You will know there's something more
That we can both dream of
Very soon you'll see we both will
Be falling in love, we won't
Find our way outside this trance
Hope...lessly lost in romance
Rose petals are about to dance you'll see
Rose petals are about to dance with me
(Sax solo)
You will know there's something more
That we can both dream of
Very soon you'll see we both will
Be....falling in love, we won't
Find our way out of this trance
Hope...lessly lost in romance
Rose petals are about to dance you'll see
Rose petals are about to dance
With Me
