My partner and I learned this song about 6 or 7 years ago, and when we brought it to our song circle for the first time, immediately after singing it we were enthusiastically asked to sing it again, the first, and to my knowledge the only, time that has happened. Since then we have been asked to sing it many times, and had the pleasure of singing it at my daughter's wedding. The title now adorns my guitar strap (carved by Rick Fielding) Let It Be a Dance
by Rick Maston (Methodist Minister from California, around 30 yrs ago.)
Let it be a dance we do May I have this dance with you For the good times and the bad times too Let it be a dance. Let a dancing song be heard Play the music, say the words Fill the sky with sailing birds Let it be a dance, let it be a dance, let it be a dance. Every body turn and spin Let your bodies learn to bend Like a willow in the wind And let it be a dance. A child is born, we all must die A time for joy, a time to cry So take it as it passes by And let it be a dance, let it be a dance, let it be a dance. Let it be a dance we do May I have this dance with you For the good times and the bad times too Let it be a dance Instrumental break: The morning star comes out at night Without the dark there'd be no light Yet if nothing's wrong then nothing's right So let it be a dance, let it be a dance, let it be a dance Let the sun shine, let it rain Share the laughter, bear the pain Round and round we go again And let it be a dance. Let it be a dance we do May I have this dance with you For the good times and the bad times too Let it be a dance HTML line breaks added. -JoeClone 15-Jan-2001.
