Story behind the song

When thinking about my parents one of my memories is of them dancing. This song came from that.

Lyrics

They Danced
[01.01.2015]

[V]
Nettie and Joe
met after the war
fit like a ball and glove.
Together they built
a house and a home,
filled every room with love.

[C]
They danced beneath the moon light.
They danced under the stars.
They danced now and forever
in each others arms.

[V]
Through good times and bad
heart ache, heart break,
even if the sky did fall.
Together they stood
steadfast and strong
and through it all. [Chorus

Instrumental:

[C]
They danced beneath the moon light.
They danced under the stars.
They danced now and forever
in each others arms.

[B]
Nettie and Joe
have long passed away
to young and way to soon.
But I really know
they're together right now
dancing to another tune.

[C]
Now they dance in heaven above us.
They dance among the stars.
And they'll dance now and forever
in each others arms.

[Tag]
In each others arms.
