The Dance

We spin and twirl, arms embraced Cheek to cheek, face to face Stepping to the rhythms, holding close To the tunes of endless songs You give a nod, I turn a toe We bow, catch hands We feel our bodies close, skin to skin Hearts in tune arm in arm Our shadows dancing on the wall Entwined together one to one Dancing with your eyes over mine Doing the tango, the waltz Your hand on my waist, mine on your shoulder Holding close, dancing tenderly To the flowing rhythms of the song Dance, my handsome man Move slowly with me in the dark, hold me close Let my flesh touch yours Forever locked in this moment, this embrace Your breath against my neck Twirling around, feet barely touching the ground Floating on a cloud As we sway together in the midnight hour The violins slowly fade Hold me, twirl me one more time Before the evening ends
