Verse 1
Eyes lock, double take, heart skips the beat,
Like the universe whispered, “This is the one you should meet.”
Mesmerized, tantalized, my thoughts run wild,
Dreams of a future, a home, a life, a child.
Where we’d live, how we’d love, how we’d grow old,
Every promise in your glance already told.
To my surprise, your eyes say the same,
Like they’re reading my soul, calling my name.
(Pre-Chorus - Lift, band drops then slams back in)
I keep walking but I’m floating, can’t feel the ground,
Cloud nine wrapped in a velvet sound,
Every step closer, the room fades out,
Just you and me and this spinning crowd.
(Chorus - Big, Anthem, Crowd Singing Along)
Girl, I took your hand and
Spun your back to my chest,
Pulled you in close, let your body rest,
The rhythm of our chemistry
Guides our groove the best.
I knew at first sight, heaven sent from above,
This ain’t just a moment,
It’s a slow dance… a slow dance to love.
(Verse 2 - Groove harder, bass and horns push)
The band plays soft like they know our story,
Every note dressed in quiet glory,
Your smile glows like candlelight,
Every worry slipping out of sight.
No rush, no race, just heart on heart,
Two strangers meeting at a destined start,
And the world keeps moving, but we don’t care,
We found something rare in the middle of the air.
(Pre-Chorus 2 - Breakdown, piano only, then full band crash)
Your breath on my shoulder, time stands still,
Every fear surrenders to how I feel,
No words needed, the truth is enough,
This slow, sweet sway is speaking love.
(Chorus - Repeat – Higher Key, Choir Behind)
Girl, I took your hand and
Spun your back to my chest,
Pulled you in close, let your body rest,
The rhythm of our chemistry
Guides our groove the best.
I knew at first sight, heaven sent from above,
This ain’t just a moment,
It’s a slow dance… a slow dance to love.
(Bridge - Half-time Gospel Feel, Organ Swell)
Maybe it’s fate, maybe it’s time,
Maybe it’s written in the stars that shine,
But right here, right now, in this gentle sway,
I feel forever trying to find its way.
(Instrumental Explosion Piano & Sax Battle Lead Singer Scats Along)
(Final Chorus - Double Time Feel, Ultimate Climax)
Girl, I took your hand and
Spun your back to my chest,
Pulled you in close, let your body rest,
The rhythm of our chemistry
Guides our groove the best.
I knew at first sight, heaven sent from above,
This ain’t just a moment,
It’s a slow dance… a slow dance to love.
Outro (Scat + Shouts)
Ba-doo-yah! Sha-na-na!
Love in the house tonight!
Hands up, hearts open, sing it with me—
REPEAT CHORUS WITH CROWD LOUD! 🎷🎹
