Ballroom Dancing

It was a nice romance, she loved to dance to the music's beat, but I had two left feet The circumstance made us take a chance And we enrolled for ballroom lessons.. (sweet) I gave it a try and by and by I began gliding across the floor My confidence was high I learnt tango, cha-cha, and many more We practiced still when we were home The Christmas Ball was near These steps we honed for the ballrooms dome To prepare for this elegant affair In tux and gown we left the house To the Ballroom we did go Where others gathered with their spouse's To glide to rhythms flow The Ballroom grandeur was something to behold With lofty ceilings, and decorations ornate Perhaps to match the dancing that would unfold My nervous feet couldn't wait In rhythmic grooves we made the moves In motions to and fro To cha- cha steps, latin flavors flowed The rumba wooed, as rhapsody behooved We slid with grace to tangos pace As I held her close to me Our hearts raced, our souls embraced As we became one with the melody The Ballroom dance was such delight As we dipped and twirled in movements quick To trip the light fantastic A waltz came on, we danced it slow But it was late and we had to go But we could have danced all night

This was a welcome reprieve from what I was and had to do. Summoned some interesting memories that I hadn't thought remained.
