Carolyn Arends, who for some unexplained reason not having to do with music remains one of my favourite musicians (it's her ability to string together words in ways that take my breath away, methinks), has written a song called Dance Like No One's Watching, based on this quote.
That song inspired me to write a much less interesting song about dancing, considering that I, you know, don't dance much.
Here's Carolyn's song. I won't trouble you with mine.
I want to sing just like the sparrow 'cause the sparrow knows That your eye will be upon her everywhere that she goes I want to shout out like the mountains 'cause they say those rocks Love to lift up their praises and they never stop I want to chase you like King David till it's all that I can do To sing and shout and laugh about the way you made me new
I want to dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Nobody but you
I want to grow just like the lilies dressed up in your best 'Cause they stretch toward the sun and trust in you for the rest I want to climb up like a daughter on her daddy's knee Who is laughing 'cause she knows that she is loved abundantly You said that I should come to you just like a little kid And maybe even kick my heels the way that David did
I'm gonna dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Nobody but you
Well heaven knows I worry and those worries tend to keep me Bottled up so tightly in my soul So spill me like the perfume that was poured upon your feet And then fill me till at last I overflow
That's when I'll dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Dance like no one's watching Nobody but you
I want to chase you like King David till at last you capture me And then I’ll sing and shout and laugh about the way you set me free
I want to dance like no one’s watching Dance like no one’s watching Dance like no one’s watching Nobody but you
