Dancing Dame In the Frame


Today... 
       Let me swirl, let me sway,
             I want to whirl my cares away.

Stand by...
           Let me float, let me fly,
                 I want to forget how to cry.

Don't stare...
              Let me dance, let me dare,
                    I want to romance with the air.

Joyride...
         Let me groove, let me glide,
               I want to move that samba stride.

Soft blush...
             Let me reel, let me rush,
                   I want to feel your gentle brush.

Stroke me...
           Let me spin a trot spree,
                 I want to grin through this boogie.

Alive...
      Let me jig, let me jive,
            I'm on a whirligig waltz drive.
