Dance

I can no longer dance the dance That love had taught me long ago These days my feet can only shuffle The dance of love I use to know I miss the sweetness of loves kisses And the warmth of other lips These days I have no love to speak of My lover’s moon has now eclipsed Now and then I do remember What love was like when I was young Although I’ve tried to fined another The songs I’ve tried remain unsung There are no steps that I consider There are no steps I can recall These days when I try to remember I cannot move I only fall I wish I was for just one day To be the young man I had been Just so I might dance a little And recall my sweet youth again

CJ, Sad but lovely sentiments on aging. I'm storing this one in my favs, and sending you a 7.
