In a darkened room deep in the crowd
A familiar tune – the music’s loud
Spotlights dance around the stage
With knowing glance, I turn the page
I see her and she’s dressed in black
Not in person – in paperback
Will she pose for me tonight?
I hold my breath –follow the light
Through the haze all I can see
Are models strutting purposefully?
Then I spot her walking proud
The clothes she wears delight the crowds
Her sultry eyes and jet-black hair
All I can do is sit and stare
If I can get my timing right
Who knows – she could be mine tonight?
Out of reach – a designer’s dream
She is a peach – the catwalk queen
We all desire – but cannot touch
My hearts on fire – she means so much
Her picture in the magazines
Leaps from the page into my dreams
Maybe one day she’ll be mine
Then we can leave this pantomime
