	Story Behind the Song I was at a Big Band Music Festival in Chicago. I saw a woman who had enthralled me from a distance; everything about her sent me reeling and I wanted to dance with her..it never happened, someone else got to her before I did and she was gone. The original song in my head had horns and all types of orchestration so that it had a more "Big Band" feel to it. I stripped it down to what you hear now. Lyrics You were leaning against the wall of the Mid-West Taj Mahal Short dark hair, white stockings and dancing shoes Dressed in roses of blue People dancing to the sounds of big band beats Bodies swirling around Tapping your heel to the rhythm in your soul Please dance with me Swinging silhouettes on the balcony Dancing in the shadows where no one can see Starlit ceiling twinkles above Sparkle like your eyes when you fall in love I gaze into the courtyard and see your face Dancing with another Hundreds of bodies and I stand alone You snuggle in his arms and I stand like stone Please dance with me Smoke curls upward along minaret spire "No Smoking" signs but my heart was on fire I turned to go gazed over the dance floor Bodies galore but you were no more Like Cinderella's prince I looked for the shoe of my dancing princess dressed in roses of blue Please dance with me (repeat first verse)
