Dancing Tonight

Darling, will you come dancing, Dance with me, this night? And underneath the moon and stars, We'll give that mouse a fright: “I've never seen such love before” He'll be sure, to remark. We'll fox-trot among the lillies I'll whisper you sweet words. Our feet shall stir the sleeping worms, Who in turn shall wake the birds. And they will sing to match our movements, As we twirl: round and round. And a chorus shall rise among all the crannies of the flora We dance and sing and love and laugh Your very beauty like an aura. And on and on, throughout the dark Till cloud first kissed with sun. Now stopped, your eyes will find mine, and I shall brush back the hair from your face and will think: This night, my love has come to bear. Darling will you come dancing, Dance with me, for life?
