Two Dogs Slow Dancing

[Verse 1]
They met by the corner café
Two leashes tangled, hearts the same
One floppy ear, one crooked tail
Both sniffed once, then everything changed
[Chorus]
Two dogs slow dancing on the sidewalk
Paws on shoulders in their minds
Spinning round the fire hydrant moonlight
Love in every little sigh
Two dogs slow dancing, eyes half closed
Hearts keeping time
To a lazy late-night rhyme
[Verse 2]
He shares his treat, she steals his bed
She chases birds, he naps instead
They bark at cars like trumpet blasts
Then curl up close, the noise all past
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Rain on the window
Bowl on the floor
Their world is this blanket
And that old creaking door
If this is forever
It’s biscuits and breeze
Her nose on his shoulder
His chin on her knees
[Chorus]

jazz, Warm small-club jazz combo: brushed drums, upright bass walking lazily, soft piano voicings, mellow sax fills. Female vocals in a close, intimate mic, crooning with playful phrasing. Laid-back swing on the verses; chorus lifts with tight background hums and a slight dynamic push from the cymbals and bass. Sax takes tiny call-and-response licks around the vocal.
