I began writing this decades ago, then tonight (8/8/26) added a bit more to it....recorded it on my iPhone so I wouldn't forget it. I wanted a short song about love lost...beyond the grave that lingers in the heart and in the scent from old letters…I’ll rerecord this as I’ve added two more sections that are shown at the lyrics.

Lyrics

"Dancing Alone"
(c) Rick Landers 8/8/26
(5/ )

I saw you dancing alone
So many teardrops like rain
The music was playing quite low
My heart surrenders calls your name

A billion stars up in the night
Promising true love would never bend
Traveling true loves endless flight
This love will never end

The night we met
A glowing light, like I’d never seen
You turned your head
I held my breath
You claimed your prize, as if
I was some store bought novelty
With no regrets
How my heart was bled

(Instrumental Break)

And when I dream of all the love
We could have made beyond the grave
My heart is spent
Tied a ribbon ‘round the
letters that I saved
They have your scent
A heavenly ascent

I saw you dancing alone
So many tear drops in vain
