We danced in the ballroom Me and my own A glitter of ball gowns A mingling of clothes The crowds they were silenced For such was my goal To feast on your heartbeat To dwell in your soul The balls have now faded, And so have the clothes The youthful blazing Now burns like deep coals We dance by the moonlight In the chilling cold But how can I feel chills In the warmth of your hold? We dance oh so boldly We dance it by rote But we dance oh so slowly For we are now old Dexterity fading Like memories of old But I will always remember Your face, oh my love
