Our Hour

I’ve been reminiscing about the past recently
I’ve been running out of time so fast remarkably
We have been dancing to our hour of fun in the stereo room
We have been having a good time, shaking off the gloom and doom

So, let’s let go and let sway away our shade of blue
The trace of disgrace we no longer have time to undo 

It’s our hour to shine
You’re frankly mine
I want to shine with you just fine
This time, this time, this time…
It’s no crime to have a good time
Toss a dime into the poetry pond of elegant rhyme
It’s our hour to shine
It’s our hour to shine

Our sorrow was once so serpentine recently
I’ve been running out of time so fast remarkably
We have been embracing one another for an hour or so
We have been reaping what we sow, but now it’s time to grow

So, let’s let go and let sway away our shade of blue
The trace of disgrace we no longer have time to undo 

It’s our hour to shine
You’re frankly mine
I want to shine with you just fine
This time, this time, this time…
It’s no crime to have a good time
Toss a dime into the poetry pond of elegant rhyme
It’s our hour to shine
It’s our hour to shine

Remember the times we gaily and daily spent,
Squandering in the meadow of merriment?
It’s our time to shine…
It’s your time to be mine
It’s our hour to shine…
You’re looking oh so fine 

So, let’s let go and let sway away our shade of blue
The trace of disgrace we no longer have time to undo 

So, let’s let go and let sway away our shade of blue
The trace of disgrace we no longer have time to undo 

It’s our hour to shine
You’re frankly mine
I want to shine with you just fine
This time, this time, this time…
It’s no crime to have a good time
Toss a dime into the poetry pond of elegant rhyme
It’s our hour to shine
It’s our hour to shine

It’s our hour to shine
You’re frankly mine
I want to shine with you just fine
This time, this time, this time…
It’s no crime to have a good time
Toss a dime into the poetry pond of elegant rhyme
It’s our hour to shine
It’s our hour to shine

You know, you rose from the ashes of your past
You know, we can run so fast and trace gladness instead
You know, you chose to be a violet rose, growing vast
In the garden of love, in the garden of love that sheds away dread

So, let’s let go and let sway away our shade of blue
The trace of disgrace we no longer have time to undo 

It’s our time to shine
It’s our hour to shine
Let our shine intertwine
Let our love be divine
Give us a sign, 
Oh Lord of Accord…
Let the stars align
Be our shield and sword!
It’s our time to shine
It’s our hour to shine

Let our shine mix like cane sugar and crimson wine
Let our love be divine forevermore this splendid time
Turn up the music on the stereo, my angel so beautiful 
Let’s dance therapeutically with elegant, gracious soul

Sweet... and emancipating. Great write... my favourite line is the one that starts with "Toss a dime..." genius that!
