about

My parents, Oscar and Lucy Braganza, danced across half the globe before we settled in Ontario, Canada.

lyrics

Hoping You’ll Dance

I watch the light as the sun goes below
as Spring she slips in the door
She’s shy as she dances her awkward steps
while winter he takes the lead
Soon her confidence grows
She twirls her flowers and rain
Now she’s out on the floor calling your name
Hoping you’ll dance with her too

They met on the dance floor in old Mumbai
They waltzed in Germany too
Did the Swing on floors in Nigeria
All the way to Canada
I watched from the sideline in wonder
Their feet seemed to float in the air
Now she’s out on the floor calling his name
Hoping he’ll dance with her too

I’m out here alone on this dirty dance floor
sweeping up after the show
The scuff marks remain from the dreams they laid down
Their promise can never be broke
I’m hoping you’ll find me here
in the light of the spring time moon
Now I’m on the floor calling your name
Hoping you’ll dance with me too.
