Next time we meet we'll be dancing. Callous cancer stole so much, But not your beauty, Not your love, Not your name written in the Book of Life. Next time we'll be dancing. We'll have forgotten our tears, Our anguish, Our defenceless clenched fists, Beside the silent plastic bed. Next time We'll be too distracted by wonder To recall any of this. We'll be too busy dancing. See on the dance floor, Lorraine.

Next time we meet we'll be dancing. Callous cancer stole so much, But not your beauty, Not your love, Not your name written in the Book of Life. Next time we'll be dancing. We'll have forgotten our tears, Our anguish, Our defenceless clenched fists, Beside the silent plastic bed. Next time We'll be too distracted by wonder To recall any of this. We'll be too busy dancing. See on the dance floor, Lorraine.
Next to a dear friend's bed in a hospice.
