Dark Waltz

Artist: Hayley Westenra

Album: Pure

Song Length: 4:21

George's Thoughts: While this isn't a typical Waltz tune, the lovely rise and fall action of the music and the consistently smooth, drawn-out vocals make it superbly danceable. A lovely piece, though not ideal for novice dancers because the beat is slightly more challenging for beginners to find than many other Waltz songs. The song is very much about dancing the Waltz, so it is quite appropriate for any dancing situation.

Song Lyrics:

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together
I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Time dancers whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light
