weekly dance party...I didn't realize until after the fact that we danced to lost love/broken heart songs (Always Something There to Remind Me + Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go - see lyrics below).



I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
how can I forget you
when there is always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
and I will never be free
