James Inman Poet Lyric

The Dance

 
I
 Waltzed with
 you
 on that
 Christmas Eve
 and you
 shared
 with me 
 all your love.

 Then you held my
 hand and we
 laughed a-
 gain
 and you
 whispered soft
 in my
 ear,

 I love
 you.


To be sung with the beat of a Viennese Waltz with a drawn out hesitation on the first word of each stanza and the last stanza whispered.  (Daaaaa DUM dee dum da da DUM dee dum da da DUM dee dum da da dum/Daaaaa DUM dee dum da da DUM dee dum da da DUM dee dum da da dum/da da dum)  Not a dancer so forgive me if this is some how incorrect.

Viv Wigley December 30, 2015 at 7:30 PM Cardhu single malt scotch would do nicely, thanks. James Inman December 30, 2015 at 8:31 PM Never tried it. I'll have to look it up. I have a 18 year old bottle of Bacardi Reserve at home waiting for one of my daughters to get married.
