To Rio

There he was
Surrounded by everyone he knew
Something was different than before
There I stood
Not knowing what I should say or do
He caught my eye and crossed the floor

He said I travel to Rio
Where your heart can learn to dance
And music takes you spinning
If you dare
I wanna travel to Rio
And begin to take a chance
And hope the magic follows everywhere

When we talked
I saw such a twinkle in his eye
He found the answer I could tell
Then he said
It might just amuse you for a while
That's when I felt him weave his spell

He said I travel to Rio
Where your heart can learn to dance
And music takes you spinning
If you dare
I wanna travel to Rio
And begin to take a chance
And hope the magic follows everywhere

At first I felt confusion
And I wanted to know more
I had many questions in my mind
But then I heard the music
And I let my spirit soar
How strange it was to let it all unwind

He said I travel to Rio
Where your heart can learn to dance
And music takes you spinning
If you dare
I wanna travel to Rio
And begin to take a chance
And hope the magic follows everywhere
And hope the magic follows everywhere
I hope the magic follows everywhere
