lyrics

Meant to Be

The long drive into town seemed to take forever
To the gathering at the big old country hall
We were suited gowned and polished shining as the night
We stepped out at the Annual New Years Ball

The cars rolled in from miles round each man with a bottle
Each lady bought a plate for the supper room
I saw you in the middle with the other boys from town
You glided over smiling as you took my arm

It was there that some found kisses then went home alone
It was there that some found love enough to last
Some were meant to be
In our own little world
We were living our dreams
Running on full and nothing could stop us or so we believed
The band struck a chord
And we took to the floor
We were meant to be

I was dancing with you
We were spinning around
I remember the sound of our shoes on the boards
And the band and the crowd
And the promise of love ‘cos everyone knew we were meant to be

You could hear the clinking bottles the laughter at full throttle
The clatter and chatter of our country town
Everyone could see us as we danced out through the door
Danced into the night now darling here we are

It was like the night was planned for just you and me
That all the town was waiting just to see
If we were meant to be
In our own little world
We were living our dreams
Running on full and nothing could stop us or so we believed
The band struck a chord
We took to the floor
We were meant to be

I was dancing with you
We were spinning around
I remember the sound of our shoes on the boards
And the band and the crowd
And the promise of love ‘cos everyone knew we were meant to be
