Question
Anne Murray made a hit of "Could I Have This Dance?" years ago but I used to dance to this song sung by a male singer which I preferred.  The CD was stolen from the owner and I would like to find the song again but don't know the name of the male singer.

Answer
Hi Linda!  I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.  I've been out of town and away from my computer for the holidays!  I've searched everything I know to search and even asked other people to see what they could come up with, and the only thing I've found that even remotely comes close to "Could I Have This Dance" by a male singer is Waylon Jennings' "Waltz Me To Heaven."  It does contain the line "Could I have this dance..." but the rest of the song is about waltzing.  If this is not the song you're looking for, let me know, and I'll continue my search!  Hope this helps!

Artist: Waylon Jennings
Song: Waltz Me to Heaven
Album: Love Songs

It's been a long time
Since I've had a good time
And I think it's high time I did
Could I have this dance
It feels like romance
And it's good to be feeling like this

The lights are down low
The band’s playin’ slow
To The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
How many love songs
And how many dance floors
have lovers like us waltzed across

Chorus 1:
So waltz me to heaven tonight
To the waltz of the angels we'll blissfully blind
On past the milkyway to paradise
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight

Chorus 2:
Waltz me to heaven tonight
Honky tonk angels in heavenly flight
With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes
Won't you waltz me to heaven to - night.

Chorus 3:
Waltz me to heaven tonight
Hold your heavenly body against mine so tight
As the band softly plays on this magical night
We'll dance past the milkyway to paradise
With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight

Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight
