Story Behind The Song
We were watching Laura Wisdom play a gig in town. I had just had ankle surgery and my wife had recently had a knee replacement. I wanted to dance but all we could do was slow dance, basically hold each other up.

Lyrics
I slid in the backdoor, saw you all prettied up
You've been patiently waiting, I'm running late looking kinda rough
You're wearing your very best dress and matching dancing shoes
I race toward the shower, just give me a minute or two
Chorus-
Tonight, I'm gonna dance, slow dance with you
Tonight, I'll hold you tight, out on that floor
Our night, our dance, our hearts craving more
Low light and romance, I'll slow dance with you.
Out on the dance floor, my hands find your hips
We've been slaving all day, for a night like this
Like Cinderella you whisper, "Midnight's almost here
Let's take our slow dance home before this all disappears"
(Repeat chorus)
instrumental
(Repeat Chorus)
Slow oh oh dance
Slow oh oh dance
