I’ve danced through life
To a soundtrack that only I’ve heard
I’ve invited you to dance
If you wish to learn
Many have taken me up
On this offer of life’s dance
Only to watch them stumble
Not being able to prance
Happiness is a way of life
That I’ve lived for quite some time
But I only know how to do so
Because I know Sorrow’s every line
So watch as I dance
And twirl around
Can you see me float
Far above the ground?
In real life
I cannot dance
But metaphorically
I do so at every chance
And amazingly I found Lisa
Who has taken my hand
As we danced
She donned my wedding band
Friends may come and go
But I’ve finally found a partner
Who will dance with me
Forever, and ever after
Somewhere along the way
I realized something very important
I’ve danced this dance I’ve danced
Felt pain at every appointment
So that when I got to dance with her
It was the dance that would enthrall her
Because she’s danced
The same dance as me
So that when we found each other
It would be so lovely
That we have both wept with joy
At true love’s beautiful envoy
