First official try in lyrics and singing and playing at the same time. Inspired by random improvisations with words and the fact that I can't dance and sing. (So forgive the singing, really.)
Dance accompanist by day. Composer by night. Mainly composes classical contemporary music for fun, choreography or films.
Story behind the song
Tongue in cheek style, with an underlying implication. Composed, performed and recorded in 30 minutes.
Lyrics
If I can dance,
I'll dance this waltz with you.
If I can waltz,
I'll waltz all night with you.
Holding your hands, with you tight in my embrace.
Swirling around, staring at your face.
Oh, if only I can dance,
I'll dance this waltz with you.
If I can sing,
I'll sing this waltz for you.
On the stage,
In front of everyone, for you.
Holding this note,
Singing this song.
If only I can sing,
I'll sing this waltz for you.
But I can't do any of these,
I lack the talents, the voice and the moves.
Or perhaps, what I lack,
Is the courage,
To waltz with you.
[piano interlude]
If I can play,
I'll play this waltz for you.
