lyrics

The spring of youth inspires love.
The stories to begin,
Entangled in a whim.
Let the dance begin!

The rhythm drew us close together,
Alas, the beat was not forever.
The push and pull sent through our swaying arms.
The to and fro of love in all its charms.

We play at love then fight to lead.
A passion follows with such greed.
We dance in circles gazing with a fire,
Our hearts conspire,
Filled with desire.

I pull away in jest you see it as a test.
Your pride stands oh, so tall,
But soon that wall will fall.
You glide across the floor,
To claim you’ve closed the door,
But our hearts seek something more.
We dip into a rapture.

I point my toe as you embrace me,
You turn your head and I go crazy!
And so, the game of love is played again.
The on again and off again of love.
