Ballroom Dance
graceful dips and an elegant leap
intertwined arms and no time for sleep
then it starts with the classic lindy hop
to end the dance with the quick stop drop
finally what everyone wants
for the other dances were only taunts
to the majestic dance with no faults
the one and only, the glorious waltz
couples twirl, couples spin
feeling the music sing within
the pianos pursue, the violins chase
the maestro conducts with near perfect grace
the ball gowns and skirts look like colored clouds
and bring color to the dancing crowds
men look sharp in their black and white suits
that match perfectly with their crisp, shiny boots
as the sky grows darker and out come the stars
no one bothers to go off to their carriage cars
so still the music goes carrying on
no one wanting to be gone
though soon it becomes that time
when the bells have started over their chime
and shoes have grown worn out
so the people begin to fadeout
thus the ball is done with
the next to be on the fifth
but smiles still remain
the memories refusing to abstain
so everyone sleeps with joy
every single girl and boy
repeats what happened in their heart
the music refusing to depart
