Would you like to dance, Louise The air's warm outside leaves blow down the street Cars rushing by, vanish into the night Everybody so busy getting on with their life Through the steam of the kettle i see across the street A husband holds his wife Then there was us .... I put pen to paper, guitar in my hand ******* up lyrics all over the floor And you stood silhouetted, framed in the door Would you like to dance ?
It may sound stupid i thought, but i'd ask you anyway Put down my guitar, pull you a little closer and together in the empty room we sway Would you like to dance ?
Now i feel foolish but i loved you from a distance i was granted 1 wish Blew out birthday candles and now i hold you like this Together we sway, in this room where no music plays Sing me a song please, those were the words you said Rest my chin on your shoulder, get closer to your ear and began to serenade The music was made
Candle light flickers, curtains are shut but the window was open Your hair blows in the breeze i can tell your heart has been broken By the way you hold my hand You pull back a little, don't think that i'll hurt you because you know i'm not like them I see tears in your eyes that are yet to be born, my arms are your shelter from the future storms Would you like to dance ?
It's been a long time coming Now my guitar joins me, together hear our beat You just sit on the edge of the bed watching me And i sing to you ... "The most beautiful thing about being alive, is you don't know you don't like something until you've tried it" ....
