CAN I HAVE THIS DANCE

I see you in the room, looking so very lonely
I wonder if it is me, that you'll see
The band is playing and the mood is right
The music is soft, as it calms the night
I walk over gently and sit next to you
You look towards me as I say, "How do you do?"
You graciously smile and reply, "Just Fine"
As I offer you a glass of chilled white wine
We hold them up and make a toast
The scene is set, like the pirit of a ghost
The dress you wear is a perfect shade
You look like a model, as for you, it was just made
It was a raspberry red, with a red ruffle
You looked perfect, as a champagne truffle
It was an ideal setting, the definition of romance
As I whispered in your ear...
CAN I HAVE THIS DANCE
