1. A summer moon was rising thru the desert sky

I climbed the canyons so I could be by your side

Nothing was going hold me back from our rendezvous

So I could sway with you

Beneath a smiling Spanish moon

And go …..

CHORUS

Dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Thru the ancient ruins

Beneath a starry sky

We were dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Our hips were swaying

Side to side

Underneath a starry sky

We were dancing on the Great Divide

2. Across that stony plaza you appeared

Sage and citrus blossoms were mixing in the air

Barefoot, in a little red dress, you wore a touch of pearls

And whispered in my ear

That the time was near

To go ….

CHORUS

Dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Thru the ancient ruins

Beneath a starry sky

We were dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Lips to Lips

Eye to eye

Underneath a starry sky

We were dancing on the Great Divide

BRIDGE

Lanterns and candles were lighting up the street

Our hearts were pounding to that Bossa beat

You drew me close and said, “I am ready now”

You took my hand and we began to spin around

And we were…

Repeat CHORUS

Dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Thru the ancient ruins

Beneath a starry sky

We were dancing

Dancing cross the Great Divide

Hips to hips

Side to side

Underneath a starry sky

We were dancing on the Great Divide
