The Dance

by Mama Effie - Cancer

I
We sat so far apart
Waiting for the other
To make their move
Finally you came over
With a hand stretched out
To me and no one else
My heart was kind
And did  not beat
My mind was calm 
And did not scream
For once I was happy at 
This one sweet chance
And not worried about the
Things to come from 
So we walked to the floor
Carefully holding
One anothers hand
And found a spot made
Just for us...

	II
I think of moving closer
But fear takes a hold
And so I just stay back
While its you I want to hold
When will I get the courage
To make my move
I've gone this far and only need
One more inch
Two more at the most
Then i will be happy
Twirling about the dnace floor
With you holding me all the while
But I can't 
And you won't 
Cause you feel the fear too.
But as we dance 
I know in the back of my mind
That soon,
This song,
And the sweetest dance ever
Would have to come to an end


	III
I know this song
I know the moment it will end
And that moment is coming soon
The song has just a few more words
And only a few more notes to play
I don't want this to end
This is the first time I feel welcome
But the song must end
So i keep moving closer
Closer and closer
So it takes longer to end
So I won't worry so much
About what we will do
After this one sweet moment ends
But the words count down
And slowly the music fades away
But we don't move apart,
We stay there holding eachother
As if there is no tomorrow
Then and there I know
You don't want this to end
But you won't do as I hoped 
You won't lean in
Ever so softly and ever so sweetly
Kiss me as we walk off the floor
	The End

    we had a dance at school, and there was one person that I danced with the entire time....James
