I just heard a song called Get Lucky by Daft Punk. It remind me of a time when I was going to a Club in Angeles City in the Philippines back in the mid 80’s. This was a time when I was in the Air Force and I meet a girl from Berkley. She was a dancer and artist. We meet up with each other for a week.
I got to Rose’s early I have been dancing for a couple hours, to the point my shirts was soaked. The PI nights are always humid. Taking a break I see her across the floor. White pant and a off the should blouse. She waves me over. She hands me note, telling me she can’t talk but she like the way I danced.
Like the legend of the Phoenix
All ends with beginnings
I can see she wanted to dance but no one was asking her, so I went ahead and grabbed her hand and lead her to the floor.
What keeps the planet spinning (uh)
The force of love beginning
She was beautiful, tall and lean. She was moving beautifully, she new how to dance. She made me look good.
We’ve come too far to give up who we are
So let’s raise the bar and our cups to the stars
We started enjoy each other
She’s up all night ’til the sun
I’m up all night to get some
She’s up all night for good fun
I’m up all night to get lucky
Nothing was planned. She wasn’t staying in the PI, She only had a week left. We made no plans. We just danced.
We’re up all night ’til the sun
We’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We dance till the morning.
The present has no ribbon
Your gift keeps on giving,
What is this I’m feeling?
If you wanna leave I’m with it (ah)
We’ve come too far to give up who we are
So let’s raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She’s up all night ’til the sun
I’m up all night to get some
She’s up all night for good fun
I’m up all night to get luckyWe’re up all night ’til the sun
We’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun
We’re up all night to get luckyWe’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky
We continued this for the entire week. She was heading back to Berkley I was heading to my next duty assignment. She gave me a beautiful drawing of a girl handing a flower to boy, my only remembrance of our meeting that I still have to this day.
We knew that we wouldn’t see each other. We just kept dancing all night long…
