These are lyrics to a tune that popped into my head on the way to work this morning. Can’t get it out of my brain now. And I’m wondering if it’s even my own tune. Ever do that? I have another one that my kids think belongs to some Disney movie but have no idea which. I think they’re havering but I can’t be sure because it feels familiar to me after singing it so many times. If I wake up humming it again, it’s mine.
What happened to the music while we danced
While we danced
What happened to the music while we danced
What happened to the graceful glide
The simple moves we didn’t hide
What happened to the music while we danced
What became of breathing while we danced
While we danced
What became of breathing while we danced
Where the fields of open doors
The honesty of earthen floors
What became of breathing while we danced
Wherever did we go while we danced
While we danced
Wherever did we go while we danced
Disappeared like so much rain
Forgotten drops, fragmented pain
Wherever did we go while we danced
Shall we dance again in that old style, in a while
Shall we dance again in that old style
Elegant and erudite, embrace once more by kinder light
Shall we dance again in a while
What happened to that world where we danced
While we danced
What happened to that world where we danced
A simpler ball inside no walls
One sky protecting one and all
What happened to that world after we danced
Oh, what happened to our world, how we’ve danced
