Story Behind The Song
This is a sweet, sensual Latin song about two lovers who set-up a secret meeting in some ancient ruins where they can spend the night dancing beneath the stars. It is a gentle, romantic track. Time to bring some slow-burn, playful music back into our world, no?

1. A summer moon was rising thru the desert sky
I climbed the canyons so I could be by your side
Nothing was going hold me back from our rendezvous
So I could sway with you
Beneath a smiling Spanish moon
And go .....
CHORUS
Dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Thru the ancient ruins
Beneath a starry sky
We were dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Our hips were swaying /Hips to hips / Lips to Lips
Side to side / Side to Side / Eye to eye
Underneath a starry sky
We were dancing on the Great Divide
2. Across that stony plaza you appeared
Sage and citrus blossoms were mixing in the air
Barefoot, in a little red dress, you wore a touch of pearls
And whispered in my ear
That the time was near
To go....
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Lanterns and candles were lighting up the street
Our hearts were pounding to that Bossa beat
You drew me close and said, "I am ready now"
You took my hand and we began to spin around
And we were...
Repeat CHORUS
