Dancer In My Dreams

A Duet of One

Heart beats in rhythm,

We dance to the old song,

With every step,

Our hearts intertwine.

Hours go on and on,

Our waltz is endless.

Tell me, my dear,

Why can't I see you?

You in my lonely dreams,

I wish you were the one I love.

Your soft and soothing hands,

That lull me to sleep,

I want to hold them tight—

To my aching heart.

Our song still playing,

I open my eyes,

The ballroom is empty...

I am dancing alone.

Lover in my dreams,

Oh where are you?

Your smile is there,

But it's not for me.

So I'll keep dancing,

In this empty ballroom,

Waiting for you to come—

Dancer in my dreams.

Louder and louder, it grows,

The sonata in my head.

Prancing to every pitch,

With spotlights in tune.

When love isn't loving,

My silent remark.

Holding onto the fragments,

Of my drifting memories.

A final leap I take,

The music stops,

I see my ready dancer,

Bowing to another.

It was my dream alone,

My dancer has had a partner.

I take my final bow,

Tilting my head with a smile,

The lively glow, grew dim—

It was the denouement of my love.
