This is a response to the current challenge on Rangeman Writers for this week--write a song fic using a song with the word 'dance' in the title or song.

Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance

Sounds like a scene from the silver screen

Yeah, that's how it was

Love doesn't always look like a picture perfect storybook

Ah, but sometimes it does

He stood there on the edge of the dance floor that he just left and watched. He heard the laughter in their voices and saw the love etched in their faces. Her long dress swirling with her as the tall handsome man claimed her. His little girl was now a wife. He would love her and protect her and that was all a father could ask. It was a long, slow beautiful dance they began and Stephanie chose well.

Standing beside her the stars shined even brighter

And for a moment all the world was, all the world was still

I knew we belonged together the moment my eyes met hers

And I thought nothing lasts forever, but maybe this one will

He stood there in the doorway and watched. How could he be so lucky to have her as his wife? The day she walked into his life, everything changed. Those blue eyes captivated him. So serious one minute, so mischievous the next, he never stood a chance. Now, here they were as he watched her steps in their home. The two of them were now three. He listened to the quiet words to the bundle in her arms. "Hush, little Presley, dont say a word." He walked from his spot to join them, taking the beautiful pink baby, a mix of Stephanie and him. He rocked her in one and his other arm slipped around his wife. It was a long, slow beautiful dance they began and Ranger listened to his heart.

A deep breath and baby steps

That's how the whole thing starts

It's a long slow beautiful dance

To the beat of a heart

It's a long, slow

It's a long, slow

It's a long, slow
