One night in Seattle

listening to the blues

dancing with my friends

nothing much to lose

 

I'm not much for scripture 

but saw a heavenly site

danced my way over 

asked her if we might

 

she look me up and down

seemed to think it over 

I'm not looking for love she said 

but sure could use a lover

 

We danced until they called last call 

the band packed up their gear 

walking back through empty streets

the full moon shone so near. 

 

looked up through the skylights

the night was getting on 

she said, "I have to leave "

"I never stay till dawn. "

 

I went out the very next night 

the stars were in my eyes

went back to the same dive bar

hoping she would pass by. 

 

The place was nearly empty

no dancers on the floor. 

had myself a beer or two 

and headed out the door.

 

I fall in love too easy

especially at night 

when the moon is shining clear

and the music just feels right

 

I know I'll keep on looking 

for the one that chooses me 

when the skylight holds the noonday sun 

we'll know it's meant to be

 

Living  loving losing 

singing dancing boozing 

you don't always have a choice

but sometimes find a way
