about

This song was written for a very special friend. She was always referred to as Katie Dancer or Dancer Katie. I never knew her last name. One day I got an email for a bachelorette party to celebrate a woman named Katie Miller and I didn't know who that was. Well, it turned out that was her "real" last name. The Dancer is about finding true love after a lifetime of looking for it. To all the lovers and beloved. Keep on dancing.

lyrics

She went through lifetimes
Hoping to find
A love she could cling to
But it was all in her mind
 It was when she stopped trying 
To get love with force 
That she looked with her heart instead
And followed it course
She found

Somebody special  For whom she could care
Somebody special
To spend her life with
Who’d be there

She’s been counting her blessings
As we all bless the day 
That she enters a union 
Proving her love will stay
Now the stillness is present
As the dancer awaits 
She has chosen a lifetime
Where love won’t hesitate

Now watch her
She’s falling
The music
Is calling
She’s free now
She moves without
Restraint
She found

Somebody special  For whom she could care
Somebody special
To spend her life with
Who’d be there
