Sleepwalk, Sweetheart

Dance the Blues

Sweetheart,  
does our love need 
a fresh start?
I'm longing for new
music that grooves
the best of the blues. 
 
Dancing,  
in the moonlight, 
romancing
as you sway with me.
The magic that proves
we still got the moves.
 
Jazz, 
real jazz, that lifts
our tired, dried-up
souls to remembrance with style.
As we nestle 
together;
two hearts with too
much to gain, yet for a while.
 
Motion,
is not lost
on the ocean
of long years out of touch.
Dance the blues,
with nothing to lose.

parody on Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny
with like rhythm and theme
