I Hope We Keep Dancing Our Sweet, But Imperfect Dance

I say left, you go right
I say time to sleep, you say whoa, too early to call it a night
I say let’s order just enough, you say let’s order up a storm
I say let’s get up and hit the gym, you say let’s skip and sleep through the morn.

And we meet somewhere in the middle
We meet somewhere in the middle, every time.
And I hope we keep doing our sweet, but imperfect dance
I hope we keep doing our sweet, but imperfect dance, all of our lives.

I say let’s watch something romantic or funny
You say let’s watch something sad
I say I wish it was less noisy in this place
You say, I don't think it's all that bad.

And we meet somewhere in the middle
We meet somewhere in the middle, every time.
And I I hope we keep doing our sweet, but imperfect dance
I hope we keep doing our sweet, but imperfect dance, all of our lives.

I look at a situation and say we should do something
You look at a situation and say we shouldn’t worry
I  say but, what if this or that happens
You say, nothing will happen, just take it easy.

And we meet somewhere in the middle
We meet somewhere in the middle, every time.
And I hope we keep doing our imperfect, but sweet dance
Our imperfect, but oh, so sweet dance.
I hope we keep doing it all of our lives.

I say wanna go for a walk
You say a day at the beach or pool sounds like more fun
I say the weather’s perfect for a leisurely hike
You say “not even”, it's perfect for a run.

And we meet somewhere in the middle
We meet somewhere in the middle, every time
And I hope we keep doing our imperfect, but sweet dance
Our imperfect, but oh so sweet dance that I love
I hope we keep doing our imperfect dance
All of our lives.

I say let’s have Chinese today
You say let’s do Subway
I say wanna do that home project we’ve been putting off
You say let’s get out the board games and play.

And we meet somewhere in the middle
We meet somewhere in the middle, every time
And I hope we keep doing our imperfect, but sweet dance
Our imperfect, but oh, so sweet dance that I love
I hope we keep doing our dance all of our lives.

A shout out to all those imperfect, but oh, so sweet couples, whether you are newly engaged, newly married, or getting ready to celebrate another long-committed or wedding anniversary. Keep dancing all of your lives.  Keep dancing, y'all!💕

Inspired by a recent family engagement, and thinking about all the many wonderful couples I know, who like wine and cheese, are not the same, but are still perfect together. Keep dancing, y’all!
