Show Tune #5 Poem by Morgan Michaels

When you walked into the room
My heart hit the ceiling
You were the one for me, you,
There was no concealing.
Something in your smile I found
So endlessly appealing
You restore my heart to
Its era of Good Feeling.

There was a time...

Your pumps were so, so pretty
In all the sparkling city
Maybe the prettiest-
Nifty the way they fit you
And your dress of whitest eyelet
That swung about your knees
Couldn't hide, couldn't hide
What was inside, inside it.

There was a time...

You didn't tipple, dear-
Oh, maybe just a little bubbly
Never was anyone so clever!
Never was there anything so lovely!
Like a melody by Stephen Foster
Endlessly, endlessly
You go through my head
Endlessly through my head.

There was a time...

Suddenly all at once we're dancing, sweet,
A thousand little lamps glisper
And soar as the basses lead our feet
Around and the cymbals sigh and whisper
On the ground or in the air
Love never lets you down
Heads you win and tails I lose
Never sounded better!

There was a time, oh, when
High brows was low brows
People little know they little know now
The way it was, the way it was
But we did, dear, and how
We're here to rock and roll again!
Never touch, ever, that's for lovers-
Save it for later.
