I Don'T Know Why

I don’t know why I let you in It may have been a moment Off the cuff, to my chagrin You were so charming, so sweet, so light on your feet I don’t know why My senses not alarming You took me in your arms Holding me tight, never a worry My spirit took flight As we twirled, as we danced I took comfort; romance Never did I ponder where I had been that night So dapper and tall Your smile said it all Yet your aura strangely misgiven No longer so sweet, so light on your feet Your face distorted Your manner, driven As we danced to the song Fear came along The encore was never given Where was I that night? The devil took flight I stood there and all was forgiven
