Abba

The music softly begins to play The bagpipers leading the way I have seen where we all have been We used to be lovers Now we are lyrics from old songs We used to dance, and hold hands Now I hold on to dreams And yet the music still plays Old streets, and old roads, Ancient memories linger on And here I am, a song in hand And there you are, an angel’s voice You have whispered silly thoughts I feel your heart, and I surely wish My waiting in the rain, won’t last long All the trains have passed and gone Nothing left to see but the dawn Oceans away, and still I long for the music The dance, the last romance, hopeless whispers I have only to caress these thoughts, nothing more Vill du ha efterrätt?

"Dancing Queen" is one of my favorite songs across all decades and genres. Your poem captured & relayed the moment, but what is that last line? Anything for dessert?

Thank you, I love the group Abba, and yes the last line is something like "would you like dessert" I was going out with a Swedish woman, and well that was our "code" phrase! LOL
