DANCE ME AROUND Buffy Sainte-Marie © Gypsy Boy Music-ASCAP The chord progression for Pachabel's Canon has inspired a lot of songwriters. Me too. The lyrics are about having missed the chance to love somebody because your lives used to be so far apart... but what about now? The title sets the song at a powwow. And when I think about all I missed All those kisses that you gave to someone else I wish I'd been around But I was up there in the air while you were over here with both feet on the ground Who'd've ever thought it that it shoulda been you and me Got to find a way to show it This effect you have on me When I think about what I missed I wish I coulda been your girl And when I think about all I've lost I could never count the cost Cause of what we've got for free And now it's later, maybe better late than never I don't know But here you are with me Dance Me Around again Hold me like it's never gonna end Finally I've found somebody who's always been a friend When I think about what I missed I wish I coulda been your girl.
