About This Song


Can you see the Spanish moss in hanging, moonlight dripping in a pretty girl's eyes? This tune tries to capture that need to slow down, slow dance, and hold tight, inspired by the scenery in Savannah GA.

Feedback Requested


any and all.

Hey Johnny….  I like this song a lot.. and I love how the chorus ramps up… would be great to have a harmony part in there…  the song has kind of a Joe Walsh feel to it… to me anyway… nice one

I’ve never been to Savannah, but now I feel like I need to visit!! Great story telling. I really enjoyed this song - the rise to the chorus is “bright” and uplifting. Thanks for sharing.

Baby, let's get away to a southern breeze
All I want is for you to dance with me
Hold you in my arms and slowly spin around
In that old Georgia town

Chorus:
If it's on a rooftop, or in a parking lot
I want to dance with you, 'neathe the Savannah Moon
If it's on River Street down by the docks
I want to dance with you, 'neathe the Savannah Moon

There's an old oak tree covered in Spanish moss
Down in Oglethorpe Square, where lovers can get lost
In a long slow kiss, or in a secret smile
I'll meet you there at sunset and we'll dance a while

Chorus

Bridge:
Baby let me look in your eyes, as the sun goes down
I need to see it's for real, this good thing I've found
But before we go, there's one thing I have to do
