START with the lyrics.

Beats                      Steps

1-3    Stride/step L foot forward, step R beside L, step L in place

4      Long step to the side on R foot (allow body to lean slightly to the L)

5-6*   Slide L foot beside R using 2 counts & leaving weight on R foot

7-12   Repeat above 6 counts

13-15  Step side L, step R across behind L, step L to the side & make a 1/4 turn L

48     Begin Dance Again

The bad news is that there are some restarts needed to keep the dance phrased, but I

think they're easy to pick out once you've heard the song a couple of times. On the

2nd wall (facing 6 o'clock), 9th wall (facing 3 o'clock) & 12th wall (facing 12

o'clock) repetitions you do only 42 counts and restart from count 1.

On the 5th wall (3 o'clock) repetition you do only the first 24 counts and restart

from count 1.

On the 7th wall (9 o'clock) repetition you do only 36 counts and restart from count 1.

Choreographers Note: The dance pattern will finish facing 3 o'clock wall when the

rhythm changes, do the last 6 counts as best you cam, then simply do a long slide step

to the left turning to face front.

* On all the slide steps, make sure that you use both counts to bring the feet

together sliding the ball of the foot across the floor, and that the weight each time

will stay on the leading foot - feel free to use your arms if it feels natural.

This may all sound very difficult, but I don't think it's as hard as it looks - counts

38, 39 are probably the hardest so you cam always take the turn out & just do a basic

pattern - it's a very beautiful love song, so relax and enjoy the lyrics (and

hopefully the dance).
