about

She really did make me dance on clouds. I wrote most of this song while sitting beside Walden Pond; maybe the Native American title was inspired by the beautiful setting. I know it had nothing to do with Kevin Costner.

lyrics

He took her hand,
There were stars in his eyes,
She kissed him, and
He then realized

That she truly loved him
The way he truly loved her.
It made his head swim,
And he embraced his lover.

CHORUS:
She makes him dance on clouds,
Heart pounding in his chest so loud,
A love so deep is so rare,
But in her arms, he's on air.

All the burdens of life
Were lifted away.
All the sorrow and strife
Behind him he lay.

CHORUS:
She makes him dance on clouds,
Heart pounding in his chest so loud,
He wants to share with her his world,
He'd do anything for this girl.

They held each other
As the ages passed.
He knew all along
That their love would last.

Their souls intertwined
As they kissed in the sun,
True love they did find,
And the two are now one.

CHORUS:
She makes him dance on clouds,
Heart pounding in his chest so loud,
A love so deep is so rare,
But in her arms, he's on air.
