The Night the Candles Went Out

The ballroom was filled with floating glitter and gold As the dancers were gliding, a scene to behold They bow and they curtsy, their hands they hold tight And the ballroom was lit with a thousand candle's light The candles grew colder as their flames flickered out The dancers kept dancing with no movement in doubt As rays from the moon splayed on the dresses they wore And shined through the windows to light up the floor Though the candles grew softer and melted away The ballroom was enchanting from the moon's light display And all who are here feel like their dancing on air In rays from the moonlight in a ballroom they share contest Ballroom Delights
