The beat slows
The amount of people on the floor
Decrease
Pairs of bodies
Become one
In the dim light
You ask me to dance
I quickly agree
And secretly rejoice
Softly you touch my hand
And lead me slowly to the dance floor
You gently hold me in your arms
While the misty dizziness of happiness
Covers the couples dancing
Tenderly, we sway to the peaceful beat
Dancing far at first
But soon going through the same
Change as the others
Of becoming one
I’m happy you hold me
For I would fall far and deep
Into the clutches of a
Senseless love
The time we spent
Seemed all too short
I go, sit back and smile
I had danced to the beat
Of Love
