It's Great 2B Alive

Let’s fly away to our own private island
Hear the roar of the waves on glistening sand
Far away from the radio, papers, and TV
We’ll have Pelicans, blue sky, Caribbean sea

A bouquet of roses, a bottle of wine
Let’s go for a stroll, we’ve got plenty of time
The moon on your shoulders, soft breeze in your hair
Just take my hand, let’s get out of these chairs

You’re never too old, it’s never too late
You’re as young as you feel, and tonight I feel great
Charleston, quick step, tango, or jive
If you’re moving your feet, it’s great to be alive

Full moon shimmers on the water tonight
Your fingers in mine, the stars out of sight
Dancing on the beach, creaky knees and aching feet
Like Ginger & Fred just a little off beat

You’re never too old, it’s never too late
You’re as young as you feel, and tonight I feel great
Charleston, quick step, tango, or jive
If you’re moving your feet, it’s great to be alive

Samba, or mambo, better shake those hips
Feel the beat of the waves in your fingertips
The years melt away, we’re refreshed and renewed
A toast of champagne, ‘cause we’re both in the mood

You’re never too old, it’s never too late
You’re as young as you feel, and tonight I feel great
Charleston, quick step, tango, or jive
If you’re moving your feet, it’s great to be alive
