Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.
Come Dance With Me
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Handsome face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me
Romance with me across a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin'
'Cause what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Hey there, cutes, put on those Basie boots and come on dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Handsome face, I know a swingin' place, so come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin'
For what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me
The lyrics to Diana Krall's "Come Dance With Me" are a romantic invitation to dance, centered around the idea that dancing is similar to making love set to music. The song opens with an invitation to put on dancing shoes and come dance with the singer. The lyrics then describe the swingin' place where they'll be dancing, and the romantic connection they'll feel on a crowded floor. As the rhythm swings, the singer promises to say lovely things, and invites the listener to join in the dance.
The chorus repeats the invitation, encouraging the listener to put on their "Basie boots" (a nod to the jazz great Count Basie) and come dance while the rhythm swings. The second verse is nearly identical to the first, but with a more insistent tone as the singer describes the romance that will take place while they dance. The song ends with a repetition of the invitation to dance, coupled with a promise to walk home cheek to cheek.
Overall, "Come Dance With Me" is a classic jazz love song that captures the romance and sensuality of dancing. The lyrics suggest that dancing is more than just a physical activity, but a way to connect intimately with another person. The reference to Count Basie and the swinging rhythm of the song reflects the jazz roots of the piece and adds to its classic feel.
