May I Have This Dance?

The speakers leaves the stage

And the music starts to play

The women in dresses

And the men in suits

Their posture coalesces

With synchronicity they move

But she sits all alone, her hair all done

A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down

Arising I approach, in effulgent hope

I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask

May I have this dance?

The massive crowd now parts

And the soft music now starts

The dancing now begins

As everyone stares

Our hearts beat to the rhythm

I have not yet cast aside my cares

And she sits all alone, her hair all done

A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down

Arising I approach, in effulgent hope

I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask

May I have this dance?

One more dance with you

One more encore

I wish you could have the moon

What more’s in store?

Babe, I haven’t a clue

But for now, may I have this dance with you?

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?
