1. A summer moon was rising thru the desert sky
I climbed the canyons so I could be by your side
Nothing was going hold me back from our rendezvous
So I could sway with you
Beneath a smiling Spanish moon
And go .....

CHORUS
Dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Thru the ancient ruins
Beneath a starry sky
We were dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Our hips were swaying /Hips to hips / Lips to Lips
Side to side / Side to Side / Eye to eye
Underneath a starry sky
We were dancing on the Great Divide

2. Across that stony plaza you appeared
Sage and citrus blossoms were mixing in the air
Barefoot, in a little red dress, you wore a touch of pearls
And whispered in my ear
That the time was near
To go....

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
Lanterns and candles were lighting up the street
Our hearts were pounding to that Bossa beat
You drew me close and said, "I am ready now"
You took my hand and we began to spin around
And we were...

Repeat CHORUS

beautiful..... done well

Good vocal.I like the music!

The vocals and the lyrics are very good. The rhythm is nice!!! The arrangement is very good. The instruments are excellent. I like the feel of this song. You are all very talented. Keep up the good work!!!

had a cool bosa sound, liked it! beautiful vocal, pleasant vibrato. reminded me a bit of Chris Isaak.

Enjoyed listening to your tune...it set a very distinct image for me....that is the whole point of music....to paint an image and you've accomplished that....good work!

This tune has a Dave Davies/Kinks sound........LOVE IT!! Like the arrangement, like the visual lyrics and the feel of the music!! The composition takes you there...has a little Beach Boys feel too! Great Job........Makes me want to hear more!!!!

This song has a great chill out vibe to this.

loved the listen ... nice stuff ...

I really like the vocals and the drums have a real good sound.

I need a drink with an umbrella. Very pleasant vocal tone. Good arrangement. Nicely done.

Wonderful voice, wonderful lyrics, A ballad, really if only it did not have such a dominant beat, such a loud, regular, unvarying beat. I admit that I have a 'thing' against the conventional drum and bass one two three one two three, I think it detracts from this lovely love song, takes the softness out of the lovely voice singing the lovely lyrics, The drum beat cuts the music into little pieces. This melody could flow like a stream, and the words would gain importance. the words are lovely.

Strong hook and nice flowing melody.
Enjoyed the song

I like the easy rhythm that just grooves steady and almost sweet... bongos are well done too. Nice chord structure as well.

Lovely melody, great lyrical imagery, and a very strong arrangement. Superb recording quality as well.

Good song! I really liked the feel of this, a definite mood setter. Very well sung and recorded, lots going on in the mix but it still allowed the vocal to do it's thing. liked the run-down on 'hips to hips and side to side', thanks I enjoyed this a lot.
