BARSONG



If I could, I would
But I can’t
So I don’t
Ask you to dance.

I’m here in this bar
You’re near yet so far
And if I could, I would
Ask you to dance.

Ask you to dance
Take us away
Live in the stars
Love in that way
And dance our dance.

A sidelong glance
The curve of your cheek
Are you bold
Are you meek

You look so fine
You look so good
Sipping your wine
And I know if I stood

Up and asked you to know
The you that is you
A chance would bloom
And a chance would grow

I would, if I could
But I can’t so I don’t
Ask you to dance.

Ask you to dance
Take us away
Live in the stars
Love in that way
And dance our dance.

So here in this bar
You so near yet so far
Unspoken promises
Unspoken hope

I would, if I could
But I can’t so I don’t
Ask you to dance.

Ask you to dance
Take us away
Live in the stars
Love in that way
And dance our dance.
