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
