The Ballad of Derek and Pauline

In loving memory of Derek, 1932 - 2021, and Pauline North, 1931 - 2021 I know what I like, my love And I like what I see I wonder if you’d like to take My hand and dance with me We’ll marry in September and Go laughing by the sea I wonder if you’ll take my hand My love, and dance with me We’ll have a little house and make A home and family And all of this will come to pass If you will dance with me And I will make your flour rise And puddings that will be Like honey on your tongue if you Will come and dance with me There’s children in the garden, love So many I can see And all because you took my hand And came and danced with me You were my only love and true And we’ll forever be The last ones out there on the floor You loved to dance with me I’ll bring you daffodils, my love And later after tea I’ll take your hand and then we will Go dancing, you and me © Gail Foster 21st February 2021
