Let us dance he said, let us dance
Let us never miss an instant chance
For tomorrow we might lose our feet
And lose out taste for all things sweet

He did not ask, in a second we were off
His voice was strong and his hands were soft
And then the song sang a melody to my soul
And the earth began to swirl underneath my soles

What imprisoned my thoughts before he came along
Try as I could, all I could remember was the song
It spoke of a man's love for his boat
And I hummed along from note to note

I never knew I could dance that well
And why he chose me I can never tell
Let us dance he said, let us dance
Let us never miss an instant chance
