We Danced In the Kitchen

Hearts mangled by grief Lost in separate mazes Cooking a half-hearted meal A turn of the head, a quick glance Trembling hands reach out Right hand in left, a gentle waltz to sweet soul sounds on the radio We danced in the kitchen Then hold your baby tight Hold your baby so tight crying song Swaying to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes "If-you-don't-know-me-by-now" Tear soaked necks and shoulders Melting into each other Melting and blending into one We danced in the kitchen Oh how we danced How we danced to the moon How we danced to the dawn How we danced in the kitchen Sweet Jesus let it be so Let it be so again Let the music play on Let us dance one last song Let us waltz one last waltz Let us dance in the kitchen
