Oh! to dance just one more time
To feel your arms around me
To feel your warm breath on my neck
You know my love surrounds thee
...
You weren't born with instructions, a manual or a guide
We did what we thought best for you with love from deep inside
We soothed your ills and patched 'skinned-up'knees
We pushed you on the swings
...
Gettysburg is quiet now
Gone are the smoke and the screams
The statues now stand; their images remain
Preserved for us it seems
...
Forever
Oh! to dance just one more time
To feel your arms around me
To feel your warm breath on my neck
You know my love surrounds thee
We've walked the beaches hand in hand
We've laughed at many sights
And then, dear one, we've shared our love in the quiet of the night.
When it's time to leave this world ~ and it will surely be
Our ashes will become entwined and carried out to sea
We won't know what lies ahead, we won't know what's in store
We only know somehow, someway we'll dance on distant shores.
