Jim’s theme for today includes flowers. So I have taken the opportunity to feature a song that always makes me feel in the mood for romance. Yes, yes, I have my moments. There is more to me than pharmacy. Nothing could be more romantic than leading a partner around the dancefloor to a song like this.
I have chosen the Dean Martin cover of a song originally from Pablo Beltrán Ruiz, but it has been covered by a variety of artists including the Pussycat Dolls – hmm hmm. Better to stick with one of the greatest singers of romance. The song is simply called “Sway”.

When marimba rhythms start to play Dance with me, make me sway Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close, sway me more Like a flower bending in the breeze Bend with me, sway with ease When we dance you have a way with me Stay with me, sway with me Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now You know how Sway me smooth, sway me now
