Dance with Me

by Keith Reid and Anders Widmark


Dance with Me is one of two songs by Keith Reid on the CD Lush Life by Mikael Rickfors, released March 2004 in Sweden, and produced by Ingemar Bergman [no not that one!] and Anders Widmark. All arrangements by Anders Widmark, who also plays piano on the record. Widmark is a great jazz pianist and composer in his own right: see www.anderswidmark.com for example.

Dance With Me

Anders Widmark & Keith Reid (copyright Warner/Chapell Music Scandinavia AB/David Platz Music Scandinavia AB)

One life, one wish to come true
Or is it only dreams that we pursue
One life one wish - that will do
Or is it just a big illusion
Or is it only me and you
Your song is my song

So dance with me, won't you dance with me
Close to me, when you're close to me
If you could only see, when you dance with me
Nothing else feels real

We have a chance to get back
But how to separate the fiction
Contradiction from the fact
New songs are old songs

So dance with me ...
Life, it's an empty page
It's a choice we've made
It's not being afraid

Life it's an open door
It's "don't know for sure"
It's worth living for

So dance with me ...

Thanks, Anders Johansson, for scans and typing
