Softly I Dance with You

Softly, softly I dance with you.

Your strong arms hold me

with a tenderness that makes my heart sigh.

We move together

without thought...as one.

Inside my soul whispers,

"How? Tell me why?"

Softly, softly I dance with you

our hearts closely pressed...

touching...beating...

without words whispering love.

For moments in the crowd we are alone,

and find love renewed.

Too soon, oh too soon, our solitude is over.

The world presses upon us, forcing us apart,

So whenever I can...however I may...

softly, softly I'll dance with you,

and only you.
