LAST DANCE
His heart jumped when he saw her sitting there
so he thought he’d take a chance
he walked over, touched her hand and asked,
“Would you care to dance?”
Her heart jumped when his hand touched hers
so she thought she’d take a chance
she smiled, stood up and whispered,
“Why yes, I’d love to dance.”
Something passed between them on that dance floor
when they looked into each other’s eyes…
as they danced the night together
They’re not sure how…or why…
Their children, grand and great grand children love to hear the story
It’s one they’ll never forget
of the day their family was created
the day when they first met.
We all knew her heart was failing
knew she could no longer stand
when he shuffled over to her bed and gently took her hand.
“My heart still jumps when I see you.” He said,
“So I thought I’d take a chance.
Pardon me, young lady…but would you care to dance?”
I’m sure her heart was jumping when she said,
“Why yes, I’d love to dance.”
And when we saw her struggling to get up
we thought we’d take a chance.
You see it was they who taught us all about love
about devotion…about romance
and so we lifted her into his waiting arms
and stood near…as they danced.
We were not there the day they met
to see them dancing in each other’s eyes
But we felt blessed to be their for their last dance
on the night they said goodbye.
