As you know I just love waltzes and am always on the look out  for some nice music. 

Imagine my delight when I heard this beautiful song while attending the New Zealand Championships at Christchurch in April 2004. 

Linedance Christchurch, which is headed up by Pauline Mooney were dancing Midnight

Waltz to it and I immediately fell in love  with the song. So, with Pauline's kind permission

have written  this dance  to it and I hope that it does justice to the song. Of course, if you

don't like the dance you can always just listen to the music...

but I'm hoping you will enjoy both the song AND the dance/

See you on the floor sometime.......  Jan
