Lyrics

He works in the corporate world
Endless days paying his dues
Well trained in the martial arts
He's ordained seeking spiritual truths

She drives a truck in the mines of Wyoming
Prefers the simple country life
They both love to ski the Rockies
Where they met and she said yes I'll be your wife

But compromise comes hard
So they wait and they wonder

Who am I and who are you
To think we can find a dance we can do
Together, forever You and I

The years roll by through so many memories
Good and bad their love stays true
So what will it take till they run out of reasons
Not to say the words I do

Forced to fight for their lives
He beat an illness that kills
She was pulled from a wreck no one should survive
His love and her will kept her alive

Life is such a precious gift
They wonder now they wonder

Who am I and who are you
If we can't find a dance we can do
Together, forever........You and I

The Truth of who we are
Is not just found in where we've been
Our future's in the choice that comes from the heart
Let's surrender to the power of the love that we're in

So here am I and here are you
Now that we have found the dance we can do
Together forever
Here am I here are you
Having finally found the dance we can do
Together we're better than ever apart
When we dance to the music that lives in our hearts
You and I
