Story Behind the Song
Some songs just happen--this was one of them. Lisa used the tango as a metaphor for living life and love passionately, and the imagery works beautifully. Recorded at Oz Studios, Baltimore, MD
Lyrics
It rains on our way to the dance but stars may shine,
I believe there's that chance.
Fate has been kind, luck has been kissed, so maybe paradise still exists
But I walk past mirrors that speak and they tell me way too much of me and I try to stop time...
and do the Tango,
do the Tango,
do the Tango with you.
It's just a private passion play
and sleep would only get in our way.
nothing to fear, no trace of lies
I'll be strong, you be wise
No sin to keep falling into patterns that don't always win but I try to keep time...
and do the Tango,
do the Tango,
do the Tango with you.
