Ballroom of Life

I stand here in the corner as I see you grace the floor Aware that you don't know me, but it's you that I adore I see you with a man, as he twirls you 'round the hall And i wish that man was me, and my name, the one you call There are men here talking business, there are ladies having tea But i focus on your image, as my heart sends out its plea That you stop for just a moment, and glance in my direction And see that I'm in love with you and yearn for your affection I know it's just a dream, that we've taken to this floor And dance away the empty days, till we can dance no more But now I see you happy, inside this hansom hall And I must stand here silent, as I watch you have a ball
