Topic: Slow Dance (for the rest of our lives)

Wrote this little lullaby type song this morning, hope you like it. Girls can just change the she's to he's  and him's to her's :)

[Song]
{t:Slow Dance (for the rest of our lives) }
C                                                                F
She’s got those eyes that   look right through me
G7                                                                        C
Her tender touch always makes me feel just right
C                                                                     F
So graceful as she moves around the dance floor
G7                                                                     C
I could dance with her all through the night

Chorus
F                                                                                    C
With her arms around me, the world just goes away
        F                                                         C
her kiss makes  heartache  fade into the night
         F                                                                C
Oh,  please make this  love song  last forever
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives


C                                                                F
She’s got a heart that ‘s full of love and kindness
G7                                                                          C
And a smile just like early morning sunlight
C                                                                 F
So graceful as she moves around the dance floor
G7                                                                      C
I could dance with her all through the night


Chorus
F                                                                                    C
With her arms around me, the world just goes away
        F                                                         C
her kiss makes  heartache  fade into the night
         F                                                                C
Oh,  please make this  love song  last forever
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives

Re: Slow Dance (for the rest of our lives)

Comments left on Soundcloud for one of the many "Paul McCartneys" of Chordie. Awesome tune, buddy and I was kinda humming it to myself wondering if I might suggest you doing it in 3/4 time, but when we got home from shopping I gave it a listen and decided I wouldn't change a thing. I loved it! smile

Thanks for the listen and kind words.  ( To answer your question - it's my wife.)

Dino
I 'd love to hear your versions too. AS you can tell I can't play well or sing for crap so I really enjoy it when those of you who can cover one of my songs. [If you don't want to sing it - I'd just like to hear how you played it.]

Thanks again

JIm
