The Very First Dance

(альбом: Sweets From A Stranger - 1982)

I had finally beat my nerve
To watch her on the stage
Removing all her clothes
Revealing only age

Some men stared with a stun
Some sat in married guilt
That night I chewed a brick
For ideals I had built

There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last
Forever

Our heads they almost touched
Our feet beneath us moved
Professional, her dance
And me the horses hoof

The lights the beat the vision
I'd conjured in my head
Had magically appeared
And disappeared again

There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last
Forever

The music stopped, we parted
But only for a bar
Off to the Bahamas
Back into her arms

Excitement of a kiss
Quenched my lover's thirst
We walked into the cold night
A night to remember

There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last
Forever

There we were in each other's arms
The very first dance that seemed to last
Forever

The very first dance
The very first dance
(Forever)

The very first dance
The very first dance
(Forever)

The very first dance
The very first dance
(Forever)

The very first dance
The very first
The very first
The very first dance
