The Dance Of A Lifetime

On a starry night under a moonlit sky

I saw a young man walking by

He asked if I would care by chance

To grace his arm in the very next dance

I said of course I'll dance with you

He smiled at me and said thank you

We danced beneath the stars above

And I knew I truly was in love

My heart skipped a beat when he looked at me

I had never in my life been so happy

He makes me feel so good inside

And gives me feelings I cannot hide

He holds me closer as the dance comes to an end

And he gave to me his sweetest grin

I wanted so much to be held by him

And he asks if I'd care to dance again

Even though it was about to rain

But inside my heart that didn't matter

He truly made me feel happier

We danced all night and on into the day

I said to myself if we could only stay

The way we are at this exact time

For it was now that I knew he was mine

The love he poured from within his heart

I knew that we would never part

It was the start of a wonderful life

When he asked me to be his wife

It all got started that starlit night

And I knew that this was totally right

Even though he works away from home

He calls me daily on the telephone

Just hearing his voice brings a smile to my face

But the phone could never take his place

It brings me comfort just to hear him speak

And makes me feel stronger when I'm feeling weak

Twenty-two years later we are here to stay

And our love grows stronger with each passing day

I know we are here for all eternity

And that's exactly how I want it to be
