Story Behind The Song
Just a happy, little hook that came into my head from the well known expression, "It takes two to tango". I had fun building the harmonies on the end to the point that I think of The Chipmunks when I hear it.

Lyrics
TWO TO TANGO
When I was on my own, I was so lonely.
You told me you had been so lonely, too.
You traveled to New York and saw the city.
I heard you say that you'd stopped feeling blue.
In St. Trope, it looked like we would make it,
But suddenly in Rome, you looked away.
You said I was the one causing the trouble.
I turned around, and you had gone away.
CHORUS It takes two to tango in Paris
It takes two to tango in LA
It takes two to tango in Dallas, Texas
It takes two to tango no matter what you say.
I keep seeing memories that sadden me.
I hear your voice nearly everywhere I go.
My heart is keeping rhythm with the music
That tells me of the pain I've come to know.
A look at time says I may never feel you love.
That's okay, I'll hear love's voice again.
Someday you will have to play the music,
You heard with me and wouldn't learn to sing.
