On the first day that I saw you

Later on outside your fence

We shared a little dance

I knew I loved ya even then

And in that autumn sky

We watched a storm go by

It's been that way ever since

Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind

A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground

In a dozen little sleepy towns

Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder

Without hearts full of hunger

And our hopes lookin' upward once again

Even when the cards were stacked against

Oh and I remember why we dance

Gentle as a passing a glance

The warmth of your breath against my cheek
