[Verse 1]
I love to watch a woman dance
She bows her head and lifts her hands
Her hips begin to circle slowly
Her eyes have closed, her face is holy
She holds the whole world in trance

[Chorus]
I love to watch a woman dance
Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

[Verse 2]
She likes the slow songs of love lost
They take her a million miles away
Because to dream, sometimes, is the only way
To go places you can't get to any other way
Our eyes connect, she takes my hand

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I feel my heart beating, and I wonder
Will it ever satisfy my longing?
I'm going to hold on to you for as long as I can
For who knows, this dance may be our only dance

[Bridge]
So we danced together, close and slow
So slow we're almost standing still
Her warm breath against my neck
Slowly breaking down my will
The room spins so I can barely stand
The song ends, then, she lets go of my hand
There's so much I don't understand

[Chorus]

one of the most popular and successful bands of all time. Originating in Los Angeles in 1971, its founding members were Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. They saw the coming and going of various members, including Frey who passed away in 2016.

Eagles were a success from the start. Their eponymous debut album, Eagles (1972), saw three singles enter the Top 40: “Take It Easy”, “Witchy Woman”, and “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, reaching respective peaks of 12, 9, and 22.

At this point, however, the Eagles were just getting started. Their second album, Desperado (1973), featured two of their most popular songs of all “Tequila Sunrise” and title track “Desperado”. Additionally, the other songs were critically acclaimed for other reasons, such as Leadon’s performance on “Saturday Night”. You’d be wrong if you thought the Eagles were settling down after back-to-back triumphs. Their next album, On the Border (1974), had on it their first “Best of My Love”.
