Dancing Lovers

Holding your hand by your bed late last night I remembered that day you first came into my sight I knew then and there you were the one meant for me And together from then on we always would be. You played it so coy, pretending not to know That my eyes followed you everywhere that you would go But you kept looking over with such subtle glances As I worked up the nerve to ask you for a few dances. We danced through the night, we danced cheek to cheek We danced every song till our knees both grew weak We have danced ever since through the laughter and tears But our dancing has now ended after so many years. I felt you slip away sometime during the darkness You went up to heaven to dance on the clouds Please wait for me darling, I’ll be joining you shortly And we can continue our dancing to harps playing so loud. We danced through the night, we danced cheek to cheek We danced every song till our knees both grew weak We have danced ever since through the laughter and tears But our dancing has now ended after so many years.
