I wrote this to contribute to a collaborative songwriting effort, but it was considered not a good fit for what a celebrity artist sought, so the others thought I should just keep it as my own, so I did and here it is as it evolved to its finish...Rick
Lyrics
"No Solo You, No Solo Me"
Music and Lyrics (c) Rick Landers 2023 (February 14, 2023)
We dance alone in a pouring rain
You twist, spin around like a hurricane
I stand here wandering without a clue
We dance together
Two points of view
We dance alone in a pouring rain (CHORUS)
We dance alone pushed along by the wind
We dance alone in the pouring rain
We'll be together until we reach land's end
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
No Solo me
Just solo you and me
They say love's transactional
like it's a fact
One gives and takes
what the other lacks
along this isle, this isle of view
Hand in hand
forever true
Hand in hand
our days too few
We dance alone in a pouring rain (CHORUS)
We dance alone pushed along by the wind
We dance alone in the pouring rain
We'll be together until we reach land's end
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
No Solo me
Just solo you and me
(Instrumental Break)
We'll ride the crests of this raging sea
Step-by-step
just you and me
And in the end, we'll touch the sand
We'll dance alone
Dancing hand in hand
Along this isle, our isle of view (CHORUS)
Hand in hand
forever true
Hand in hand
Our days too few
Hand in hand
Just we two
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
No Solo me
Just solo you and me
We'll ride the crests of this raging sea (CHORUS)
Step-by-step
just you and me
And in the end, we'll touch the sand
We'll dance alone
Dancing hand in hand
