I know A. Dee will relate to this in some way because of struggling with lyrics. I started this song way back in 1977. I had the music written but, as for words, I got stuck after the second chorus! I didn't know how to resolve it. It wasn't until 2022 that I approached Robert Quigley from Scotland who I met on Broadjam to finish the lyrics! I was inspired by the Friday nights I spent in night clubs and the hits "You Should Be Dancing" and "Nights on Broadway" by the Bee Gees, so I typed that into Band in a Box.

YOU CAN FEEL IT
Words and music by John Walradt and Robert Quigley
When the night is long and cold
And we're dancing hard to rock and roll
And you look at me and we both can see
The strong reality that we both know.
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, baby, you can feel it.
Whatcha' doing over there
When your thoughts are flying through the air?
You should be with me
So pick up your feet
And let's find a place where we can meet.
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, baby, you can feel it.
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, baby, you can feel it.
Do you ever dream, dream of this moment?
Where all the stars align?
Where you are dancing, dancing with a stranger,
And strangely, it feels fine?
And so the night comes to a close
And sweat is soaking through our clothes
With our pulses racing, racing at great speed,
Then I know it's you, it’s you I need
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, baby, you can feel it.
When the night is long and cold
And we're dancing hard to rock and roll
And you look at me and we both can see
The strong reality that we both know.
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, baby, you can feel it.
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it
Oh-Whoa-oh, you can feel it.
