about

Bellydance legend Suhaila Salimpour asked me to remix the Bal Anat version of this classic for my seventh cd, which I did, but along the way I not only wrote my own lyrics but also decided I kinda liked my simple acoustic version as much as the psychedelic triphop version on the cd.

lyrics

Lovely lady, light of my heart
Tell me where you'll dance tonight
Lovely lady, light of my heart
Tell me where you'll dance tonight
Will those sweet lips be smiling
Those hands and hips beguiling
That burning heart I silently adore
That sends you turning like a dervish 'cross the floor
Will those dark eyes look up and notice me
Wondering if you're too beautiful to be
The cure to all I endure
The one thing sure is wanting more
So tell me where, anywhere, I don't care, I'll be there
Tell me where you'll dance tonight.

Lovely lady, light of my heart
Tell me where you'll dream tonight
Lovely lady, light of my heart
Tell me, where you'll dream tonight?
What secrets you'll uncover
Lying beside your lover
And if I sleep I know I'll dream of you,
My dream, so real, too perfect to be true
Oh, brave new world with visions such as these
Beyond my reach like spinning galaxies
No chance, or so it may seem
But you must dance and I must dream
So twist away, turn away, dream away, dance away
Meet me in a dream tonight.
