THE DANCE

I REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO DANCE,
WE'D GLIDE 'CROSS THE FLOOR AS IN A TRANCE.
THE MUSIC PLAYED SOFTLY AND SO REFINED,
IT SET UP A MOOD OF FEELING SUBLIME.

'TWAS HEAVENLY AS WE MOVED TOGETHER,
SHE'S A FINE DANCER - LIGHT AS A FEATHER.
SHE KNOWS AHEAD, MY EVERY MOVE,
FORWARD OR BACKWARD, WHATEVER I CHOOSE.

THE MUSIC WAS PROGRAMMED IN WHAT WAS A SET,
TWO SONGS WERE SLOW AND THE THIRD, YOU'D GET
A VARIETY OF FAST ONES OR MAYBE A WALTZ,
WE MIGHT NOT DANCE THAT ONE,BUT JUST SIT AND TALK.

MAYBE A FAST ONE WOULD BE A 'TWO-STEP'
OR POSSIBLY A TANGO - OR A POLKA? YOU BET.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE THE ONE PLAYING
JUST SHUFFLE ALONG, 'TWILL BE ENTERTAINING.

I THINK I ENJOYED THE SLOW BALLADS THE MOST,
TO HOLD MY PARTNER SO TENDER AND CLOSE
AND FEEL THE WARM BODY THERE IN MY ARMS,
THE COLOGNE SHE WAS WEARING ENHANCED HER CHARMS.

"GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART" WAS THE VERY LAST SONG,
WE FELT SO ENTHRALLED AS WE DANCED ALONG,
SORRY IT'S ENDING, WE BOTH HELD ON TIGHT,
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WONDERFUL NIGHT.

You took me back to the time I was a child, going to the weekly dances with my family...extended to a time as a teenager, attended dances, classed a little mature for me and my friend, but then, we were already dancers....
Memories so true....now I host them at many levels, and admit, I try to follow a similar format....thank you for sharing....Kathyteddybear yay
