As the Night Dances

The winds of evening and circumstance
Blow into my soul with vision and light
Breathlessly lift my feet to the night
Surrender my soul to this wondrous dance

Locked in rhapsody,wrapped in your arms
Living the beat as we dip and twirl
Don't let go,I'm your rhumba girl
Feeling the sorcery of your charms

The moon grows fat,the sky turns bright
Morning beckons,dawn comes calling
In stillness we hear our footsteps falling
As we reluctantly end the night
