That it happened so easily is the surprise
We’d been friends for a long time
The widow and me
After Lorna passed, we used to walk
Down on the esplanade on warm summer nights
Have a glass of wine
See the sights of life passing by
Wondering if that had happened to us
That life passed us by

It was the music on the bandstand
That spoke to us
And the first time we touched
I held her close as we listened
And swayed during the dusk
As she turned to me and with a smile, said
“Let's give it a try.”
We became shadows in the light of the moon
Dancing into the night
And then into forever
It just seemed right
It has since then
Everything’s all right
In fact better than that
You better believe
We danced into a dream
