into the gloaming
you dance, with small
uncertain steps
the music dims
heard mostly
inside your mind
the swing band plays
as you sway
between uncertainty
and the nineteen fifties
when you danced all night
in patent leather pumps
with stockings saved for
the occassion
glowing with youth
and the energy that
falling love brings
now these memories
burn bright as your
life light dims
and your dance partner
the kind young nurse
as down the hall
in the mood
plays on some ones

into the gloaming
you dance, with small
uncertain steps
the music dims
heard mostly
inside your mind
the swing band plays
as you sway
between uncertainty
and the nineteen fifties
when you danced all night
in patent leather pumps
with stockings saved for
the occassion
glowing with youth
and the energy that
falling love brings
now these memories
burn bright as your
life light dims
and your dance partner
the kind young nurse
as down the hall
in the mood
plays on some ones
radio
