3/4 time — a country waltz
Verse 1. You’re the beat of my heart’s missin’ part, you’re the one,
You’re the wind ‘neath my wings, you lift me up, I touch the sun,
You’re my life’s ever after, you’re my laughter, you’re the hand in my hand, mmm-hmm,
You’re my life’s ever after, you’re my laughter, you’re the hand in my hand, mmm-hmm,
mmm-hmm. (the second mmm-hmmm resolves back to C)
Chorus. So Baby let’s take a chance, make our life a slow dance,
Let our hearts lead the way, every night, every day,
Baby let’s take a chance, make our dreams our romance,
Dance the darkness away, our love’s a light, it’s here to stay,
Baby let’s take a chance, and make our life a slow dance.
Verse 2. You are half of my soul’s bein’ whole, you’re my rhyme,
You’re a friendship set to music, a flowing brook, the end of time,
You’re my life’s every minute, need you in it, you’re the words of my song, mmm-hmm,
You’re my life’s every minute, need you in it, you’re the words of my song, mmm-hmm,
mmm-hmm.
Chorus. So Baby let’s take a chance, make our life a slow dance,
Let our hearts lead the way, every night, every day,
Baby let’s take a chance, make our dreams our romance,
Dance the darkness away, our love’s a light, it’s here to stay,
Baby let’s take a chance, and make our life a slow dance,
Baby let’s take a chance, and make our life a slow dance,
Baby let’s take a chance, and make our life a slow dance.
