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" ....

So would you like to dance Louise ?
