Last Dance in the Rain
Last Dance in the Rain
Keep me awake
Pray my soul the lord to take
I can almost feel the breeze
Blowing gently through the leaves
Those stubborn trees they never bend
The broken boughs they never mend
She don't remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don't remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Sometimes they come but she's not there
In merely playgrounds deep within a stare
Does she remember if we laughed or cried
I feel all that has left her mind
Maybe she's dancing in the rain
She don't remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don't remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Don't remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don't remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Send me to sleep
Pray my soul to keep
It never rains outside she said
Now she's 'neath the flowerbeds
Silently they close the door
Watch the rain come down
It pours

Don't miss a thing. Here you'll find all the latest reviews news and podcasts related to my new single "Last Dance in the Rain".
The Indie Pop single "Last Dance in the Rain" inspires thought provoking lyrics about dementia and alzheimer's and other memory affected illnesses, in a heartfelt manner, evoking intense emotions for people affected by the conditions as well as the friends and family around them, focusing on the change of personality due to the illnesses. The loss of the mind before the body and the hope that although they are not with us in mind the hope that they are happy, dancing in the rain.
Her rich and powerful voice is amazingly diverse, expressing not only long and resonant notes but also exhibits the soft and tender undertones. You can sense the years of musical theatre experience from the controlled emotions in the storytelling.
