Song Lyrics

Dancing Forever with You

This is our dance–take my hands.
Lead me onto the dance floor.
I can feel your heart beating with mine, in time,
Hold me close and I’ll never let go,
And I know you’re the best thing that’s happened to me.
Let it be that our dance will keep going forever.
Oooh

Here in your arms, safe and warm,
Your embrace is my fortress.
Now I’m lost in this dream coming true with you.
And it feels like we’re touching the sky, rising high.
Lift me up and we’re reaching the stars.
Here we are in a dance that will go on forever.

With all me love I give you my heart,
Still dreaming of this life that we’re starting.
Can’t believe it’s true—always to be with you.

This is our dance,
Hand in hand we are waltzing together,
Ever moving and gliding as one, holding on
In a dance that we know will not end, again,
Now the only thing I wanna do, oooh,
Is keep dancing forever with you.
Oooh
Dancing forever with you.
Oooh
Dancing forever
With you.

The Story Behind the Song

This is the song I wrote for my daughter Jennifer's wedding. The idea for the song came because my daughter is a ballroom dancer, so I wanted to write a song that she and her husband could dance to, and I knew it needed to be a waltz. I wanted the music and the intro to feel like the dance was continuous and that when the words began it was like the dance had already been going. This also provided inspiration for the lyrics -- "This is our dance--take my hands--lead me onto the dance floor" represented their special day and joining their hands in marriage. The lyrics "dancing forever with you" is symbolic of their marriage and sealing in the temple, not just for this life, but for all eternity. Just as the lyrics say "in a dance that will go on forever" their marriage will truly be able to go on forever because of their sealing in the temple by priesthood authority.
