I see you dancing in my minds eye
Your heart so far away
The gentle touch of your hand
Grasped in his to stay

The joy gleaming from your eyes
So plain for all to see
Tell me all there is to know
I signal a retreat

You asked me to be your friend
In that there is no doubt
Explaining that to my heart
Is something I can live without

My heart does say loud and bold
Look here is the one I hold
My mind replies that is not true
She wants no part of you

As in every war ever fought
Only one can win
He is dancing with you now
Alone I start again
