This is a soft Latin song about two lovers who meet secretly in some ancient mountain ruins, so they can dance beneath the moon and stars.

SONG REVIEW from HITS 1 Radio in Paris:
“Hi, Chet Nichols, and thanks for sharing your song and sound. I am sharing this songs with the HITS 1 staff for random broadcast programming on our station with this note: ”Chet Nichols' "The Great Divide" seduces with its authentic simplicity and sincere emotion. The piece is based on refined instrumentation, where the acoustic guitar occupies a central place, supported by subtle arrangements that let each note breathe. Chet Nichols' voice, warm and expressive, brings a particular depth to the whole. His slightly grainy, soulful tone brings the lyrics to life with a touching and sincere interpretation. The melody, soft and melancholy, evolves fluidly, creating a contemplative atmosphere that evokes introspection and wide-open spaces. The balance between instrumental and vocal nuances is perfectly mastered, offering a piece that is both intimate and universal. Chet Nichols succeeds in capturing the listener with elegant simplicity and rare emotional depth. GREAT song, Chet!"

VERSE 1
A summer moon was rising thru the desert sky
I climbed the canyons so I could be by your side
Nothing was going hold me back from our rendezvous
So I could sway with you
Beneath a smiling Spanish moon
And go …..
CHORUS
Dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Thru the ancient ruins
Beneath a starry sky
We were dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Our hips were swaying
Side to side
Underneath a starry sky
We were dancing on the Great Divide
VERSE 2
Across that stony plaza, yeah, you appeared
Sage and citrus blossoms were mixing in the air
Barefoot, in a little red dress, you wore a touch of pearls
And whispered in my ear
That the time was near
To go….
REPEAT CHORUS
Dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Thru the ancient ruins
Beneath a starry sky
We were dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Lips to lips
Eye to eye
Underneath a starry sky
We were dancing on the Great Divide
BRIDGE
Lanterns and candles were lighting up the street
Our hearts were pounding to that Bossa beat
You drew me close and said, “I am ready now”
You took my hand and we began to spin around
And we were…
REPEAT CHORUS
Dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Thru the ancient ruins
Beneath a starry sky
We were dancing
Dancing cross the Great Divide
Hips to hips
Side to side
Underneath a starry sky
We were dancing on the Great Divide
