I posted this a few weeks ago and reworked in the suggested changes. This is a testament to the power of working together to make these songs and recordings the best we can.
Thanks to all who post suggestions and take the time to share their opinions and expertise.
Floyd commented,
The word "even" reduces the impact of your (very cool) hook (IMO, of course)...
"I don't know.... If Angels Dance..."
The structure is a bit odd.. Verse-Chorus-V-C-solo-C-Bridge-V-C-tag.
I think the song would be more effective going to the bridge right out of the solo and then to the chorus-tag. You might even do the chorus twice. "Going back to the story" in the last verse made my attention wander (And I really like the song!). It is nice information, but I think the song would be better without it...
Josie commented,
I would have liked a little more reverb on the vocals. I like love song vocals a little more dreamy sounding.
Thanks again, you guys are the best.

If Angels Dance
I’ve been looking my whole life
To find the perfect girl like you
Someone who seemed like she could be my wife
And looked at me like only lovers do
Movin to the music like we were in a trance
Everything just felt so right
I don’t know if Angels Dance
But I think that I just danced with one tonite
And just like I had planned with the ring in my hand
Asking you if you would be my bride
Holding back the tears while listening to the band
Play a song that almost made you cry
Movin to the music like we were in a trance
Everything just felt so right
I don’t know if Angels Dance
But I think that I just danced with one tonite
Break
We’ve had our ups and downs but the world keeps turning round
Now everything’ s in perfect harmony
