It is the street you see;
It is the voice you hear;
It is the bright sweep of beach on which young bodies move;
It is the mist in the evening on which this music rides;
It is the gay colors of the swishing gowns;
It is the solidity of young manhood, gold and strong.

Close your eyes, to memory keep the scene.
For in time I will ask for it to come be with us.
Now rise up. Let us dance.
In the glow of this evening,
In our passing time of perfection,
Let us dance.

We all have our moments of perfection. Here the young man asks his future wife to remember the scene before them as an abiding memory of their early love.
