Take a short dance, in my strong arms tonight
Let's move over there, bit more in moonlight
Now think about the days, which we could rhyme
Discussing more, than bad weather or time

Will we live a charmed life, in cottage hence
Garden surrounding, with white picket fence
Bouncing kids with their dogs,  playing all day
Within sun, with sprinkler's yard wide cool spray

Will we grace, our kids in names simple like
Bob or Sue or such, maybe even Mike
Our dogs and cats called, as Spot, or Rover
Or Kitty, to see romping sweet clover

Will we hang our hopes, on the moon's high blue
Take leaps of love, forever as love true
Seeing heaven's path, in each other's eyes
Giving in soul, without living in lies

Will your protecting, soul angels alight
To also watch, and guide my darkest  night
Will they fill with loving grace, my lost heart
Holding it all, as yours, never to part

Will we trust to fall, at sun's fading light
Into each other's arms, to say good night
Will we wake up, to each other's alive
Hoping on hope, the other cannot die

Will we love to forever, in sweet long dreams
Will we escape dark pits, hardly in screams
Will we carry baggage, lighter than mice
Will we soar our world, in bliss, maybe twice

Passing grand beauty views, sights seen by few
None surpassed by sight, of other's sweet view
Eyes as passage, to dreams in each other
Colors of sweet life, lived as none other

If not,
At least,
let us dance,
tonight away
