Chuck

Back in nineteen ninety-eight at the White Flamingo bar

You were keeping up the rhythm, looking like a star

Playing drums for Six Pac, laying down the groove

I was out there on the floor, you made me want to move

You flashed that charming smile right across the room

And kept me smiling ever since, chasing away the gloom

Oh, Chuck, you’re the funny guy who always pulls me through

A lovable and caring soul, with a heart so true

We’d drift away but always find our way back to the start

Now I know you are the very beat of my heart

Yeah, you've been the steady rhythm, opening up the doors

And after all these years, I'm dancing into yours

When the hard times hit me back in two thousand and four

You were the compassionate friend that I was looking for

A caregiver by nature, you helped me through the pain

And kept that smile upon my face through the pouring rain

We lost touch a time or two, like twenty-twelve went by

But our story wasn't finished, no, we never said goodbye

Oh, Chuck, you’re the funny guy who always pulls me through

A lovable and caring soul, with a heart so true

We’d drift away but always find our way back to the start

Now I know you are the very beat of my heart

Yeah, you've been the steady rhythm, opening up the doors

And after all these years, I'm dancing into yours

My only real regret is holding back my feelings then

There was always an attraction, more than just a friend

I should have pulled you closer so many years ago

But we've got time to make it right, and let this feeling grow

On my fifty-ninth birthday, twenty twenty-four

You walked right back into my life, through that open door

Now you're playing for Sedona Sky, still keeping up the beat

And every time I look at you, my life feels so complete

I hope we're in each other's lives for many years to come

I'll always be the dancer stepping to your drum

Oh, Chuck, you’re the funny guy who always pulls me through

A lovable and caring soul, with a heart so true

We’d drift away but always find our way back to the start

Now I know you are the very beat of my heart

Yeah, you've been the steady rhythm, opening up the doors

And after all these years, I'm dancing into yours

You are the beat of my heart, and I'm dancing into yours
