Please let me
Misspend
my youth with you
We’ll waste our time
& dance away the days
Whirling&twirling
To a stately middle age.
Then
When I go slow
And the music’s fast
Please understand If I can\'t last
A dance.
Just let me sit & watch
with rheumy eye
the world & its dancers pass me by.
Then slowly, softly take my hand
& gently bring me up to stand
For one last waltz
With you.
