Roger Turner Poet Lyric

The New Covid Waltz

The New Covid Waltz

I'm dancing with my darling
To the New Covid Waltz
She looked up and she said to me
"I can barely see you"
"You're so far away"
For now, that the way it must be

I remember the time
That we danced until morning
Watching the night turn to day
Now, when we're dancing
I can't even touch you
You have to stay six feet away

I'm dancing with my darling
To the New Covid Waltz
She looked up and she said to me
"I can barely see you"
"You're so far away"
For now, that the way it must be

I remember when we
Would dance in  the moonlight
Cutting a path 'cross the floor
Now with N ninety five masks
And gloves to your elbow
We cannot do that anymore

I'm dancing with my darling
To the New Covid Waltz
She looked up and she said to me
"I can barely see you"
"You're so far away"
For now, that the way it must be

So, remember this
Keep your distance while dancing
Doing whatever you please
Don't get too close though
Please keep your distance
In case one of you happens to sneeze
