Go to the park and waltz in July
Just in the center, on the concrete and bricks
I dreamed of a girl who laughed and did tricks
And though even the world had hurt her the most
She was stronger than that and for that she could boast
Indescribably beautiful and gracious with moves
She got up from the house and shook off her blues
I dreamed of a girl who swung her arms and tapped her feet
Who laughed at the mockers and would sweat in the heat
This girl was so happy and she called out my name
Saying she was here again, there was no one to blame
I tell you this girl, she looked me dead in the eye
She held out her hand and in it was mine
As she lifted me up to the platform to dance
She said she would give this world just one more chance
I went to the park to waltz in July
And just in the center, on the concrete and bricks
I danced with a girl who laughed and did tricks
Who's heart wasn't broken by the stones and the sticks.
