come waltz with me |
Come Waltz With Me is a song Nancy composed to the melody of Hanley's House of Happiness, written by Irish American fiddler, Liz Carroll. During the song, an entire story takes place. It starts with a young woman mustering up the courage to ask a young man to dance, and then sweeping across the room with him experiencing the joy of waltzing while staring into each other's eyes. It is a song that captures the jubilation and romance of waltzing.

friends for a day and age |
Friends for a Day and Age is a love song Nancy composed, inspired by the melody of Liz Carroll's, A Day and An Age. The song was written during the pandemic as Nancy reunited with friends from Opryland and her childhood virtually and reflected on the lifelong friends who are dear to her. The song has a Celtic feeling of drifting on the water towards a destination surrounded by the eternal love of true friendship and dreams that will last far beyond this day and age. Jo Thompson-Szymanski has composed a dance to it, titled A Day and an Age.

1, 2, 3, TOO MANY TIMES |
1, 2, 3, Too Many Times was composed by the same song writing team that created Come Dance with Me. It was recorded in a log cabin in Bethpage, Tennessee near where Marjorie Reeves is buried. Nancy's first country solo at Opryland was Tennessee Waltz, a song with the same theme and message; a woman watching another woman steal her love away on the dance floor. The 1, 2, 3, Too Many Times jacket artwork features the teenage Nancy performing on stage in Nashville wearing her yellow party waltzing dress. Frank Trace has choreographed a line dance to the song titled, Too Many Times.
