Story Behind The Song

True story from the writer. They eventually married!

Song Description

Two young people meet and fall in love at a film matinee.

Lyrics

There was a matinee, no evening show
An old friend asked me if I'd like to go

She's got pretty eyes behind her glasses
There was a question that I didn't dare to ask

A foreign film, a perfect play. A performance that wouldn't go away

CHORUS:
Can you hold me?
Can I hold you?
Like we did at the matinee?

Years have passed, there's a stage
Where a monkey plays a solo from his cage

He's from LA. His lyric speaks
Recognizable and yet unique

You caught my eye with your hand
I was spinning round and way too tired to stand

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Instant attraction and then love arrives
I called you to my side
Animated lightning flashes in the night like a fear I cannot hide

We will walk the aisle so content
There'll be no more room for disillusionment

Weeks of love, we'll pas a test
A new life can be born in happiness

There will be work, there'll be pain
There'll be sacrifice embarrassment and shame

We'll lose some trust, we'll need repair
Underneath it all we'll find if loves still there

Chorus

You can dream to dare and you will find
The sweetest love every time. Hey you, hey you.
