The Final Dance

A visit from a lost loved one

The rhythm so alluring
It drags me to its beat
Like silent arms that hold me
That move my tapping feet
I feel the warming spirit
Of a man who isn't there
But in my deepest heart of hearts
Well, I know he's still here
The music starts growing louder
As we swing and sway
So close I feel I could touch him
Just like back in the day
The dead and the living
Together again as one
If only for this escaping moment
A single dance better than none
