ASKING  US  TO  DANCE

Written by Hugh Prestwood Performed by Kathy Mattea

There's a full moon up and rising And there's a whisper of a breeze Blowing through the tangled silver Hanging from the cypress trees There's a river made of moonlight Flowing clear across the lake And there's a million stars just waitin' To fall for any wish we make Darlin', tonight I am reminded How much these two hearts need romance You know it isn't all that often We get this kind of chance Why don't we get caught in this moment? Be victims of sweet circumstance? Tonight I feel like all creation Is asking us to dance There'll be time enough tomorrow To get back to our daily bread But there's something 'bout this evening That's put this notion in my head That heaven and the earth are meeting Tonight upon this very spot And all the things on earth worth havin' Are things that we've already got Darlin' tonight I am reminded How much these two hearts need romance You know it isn't all that often We get this kind of chance Why don't we get caught in this moment? Be victims of sweet circumstance? Tonight I feel like all creation Is asking us to dance Why don't we get caught in this moment? Be victims of sweet circumstance? Tonight I feel like all creation Is asking us to dance

This song is all about romance.  Nothing complicated or deep; in fact it's a reminder that some of the best things in life are simple and ours for the asking if we will only look for them.
