[Intro]
I have a woman friend whose name is Mardy Murie and she's 93 years old and I think she has done more for Alaska than any other single human being
And it comes out of not only her love and the experience that she had in that great land and her love for that land, but her love for the man who was her husband whose name is Olaus Murie
And when Olaus passed away many, many years ago
The way that Mardy kept his love
And her feeling for him alive in her heart
Was to commit herself to saving the land
That they both loved so very, very much
I know a lot of things I could tell you about Mardy
But the thing that I want to share with you
Is that she spoke of Olaus always as her beloved
And they loved to dance, the waltz especially
And they danced whenever they could, whenever they felt like it, regardless of the conditions
And I have this picture of them out in the frozen tundra of Alaska in each other's arms dancing
And no music except the sound of the wind
Rushing across that frozen wasteland
Or someplace in a forest or someplace beneath the full moon
And so I wrote this song for Mardy

[Chorus]
I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
The song for the two hearts beating only as one

[Verse 1]
Imagine the morning no longer alone
The arms of another, a place to belong
No longer the struggle, no longer the night
And ever becoming in the quickening light
[Verse 2]
To see the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song

[Bridge]
In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?

[Pre-Chorus]
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song

[Chorus]
And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

[Outro]
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
