Dance with me

 

I must confess I wasn't good 

When dancing with my beau

Two left feet they did say I had

And I had no real way to go

So I was avoided like the plague

Luckily I did meet this girl

We'd go to the flicks or opera

And once to a weekly dance

At town called Farnborough

She found I had a fault or two

Disapppointed to say the least

I could tell it from her face

Oh please let me lead she said

I bowed my head in disgrace

But at least I steer my car

It wasn't long before we were wed

And lived such fulfilling lives

We went to dances a few times

In big halls or other dives

Where she could dance with other men

Where is she now?

"Just where is she now?" You ask
It hurts to recall those days
Of unrequited love, my sweet
It's many years since we did meet

She a girl with raven hair
With her deep dark eyes on mine
Met her at a small town dance night
She walked up to me, eyes alight

"You look like you want to dance"
As she pulls me on the floor
So quickstep, waltz and rumba too
She knew full well just what to do

Soft warm body was a treat
Her eyes never looked away
But kept me close in possession
'Til break was called to that session

We sat down to have a drink
Breathed her scent and felt her warmth
Needless to say I was quite struck
I just couldn't believe my luck

A bit after ten she said
"Glad I met you but I must go"
"Want and lift?" I asked gallantly
"No, my sweet; that won't suit hubby!"

I laughed but felt like crying
As she put wedding ring on
We walked outside, then I kissed her
She smiled "With that, I do concur"

Met her again much later
Different town four years on
As she came running to my side
"Hello" she whispered, "You want a bride?"

When a youth

Most girls I dated when a youth
Looked up to me as I was tall
I looked down on them in the nicest way

Not too good in the town's dance hall
To stare at my chest was no fun
While the other girls my eyes did survey

Found at last one girl on a par
Whose sweet green eyes hypnotized me
Lips like cherries I kissed every day

Her skin was soft as finest silk
On which I laid my weary head
"I like you Robin" said my sweet girl Faye

We dated for six months or so
I hoped it would last more that that
Sadly she sent note "Have moved away"

Was too old to have a sad cry
But I'd lost the apple of my eye
Now should I look for girl named Jay or May?

I held her just one time

When I was a teen
Or something in between
But growing, becoming aware
Of girl sitting in a chair
Feeling her warmth close by
Oh those days long gone by

She was quite cute
Even described as beaut
I lked the way she flicked her hair
Just waiting there in that chair
Eyes lowered as she sat
I must sit, have a chat

And so I did
She smiled at me that kid
We talked. I asked for a dance
Knowing others now did glance
She nodded, held my hand
Danced around to the band

I felt so proud
Wanted to shout out loud
Dancing with her was a delight
For this girl was dynamite
She was just so sublime
I held her just one time

Dancing in the dark

But we were just dancing in the dark
Then you didn't want me any more
I cried my eyes out lest we should part
Please, please darling don't show me the door

You sit there and got nothing to say
That's fine let's just snuggle in the dark
Or take a stroll down town together
Even sit by the lake in the park

Please don't be grumpy my dearest love
How about we both cuddle in the flicks
That movie you want to see is on
You have always made the best of picks

See you're smiling, you going to move?
At last you have found your happy spark
What's that...you fancy Oscars night club?
So we'll be just dancing in the dark...

...Suits me baby

She leads

Could have been great disappointment to wife
Even though she was the love of my life
I first saw her in the street one fine day
Proposed a date, "Yes" she answered, hooray!

Date went well, held hands as I walked her home
Discussing what else could be done
It soon was clear she liked to dance a lot
Kissed goodnight, went home; brain lost the plot

I had two left feet and my mind went wild
Hopeless me, I almost cried like a child
She ticked all my boxes; but what of her?
Below standard me, she'd surely demure

We stuck with films and concerts for awhile
Until I told the real truth without guile
But she didn't despair or so I thought
So stopped at shop, box of chocs I bought

Clearly I knew how to turn the life's tide
Not long before with me she would abide
As we married less than a year later
Garden reception with lots of waiters

Dear one, she chose to take me just as I am
Marriage was good, could say t'was topped with jam
If we ever danced it was she who leads
She considers me one with special needs
