I turned and saw you there

Perched upon the stool.

You had appeared from nowhere

Could I have been such a fool?

I must have circled 'round the place

At least a dozen or more times.

I should've remembered seeing you.

Real or just imagined in my mind?

Ask her to dance, I thought

You've nothing left to lose.

So I spoke to you immediately

It wasn't hard to choose.

You said that you would love to dance

It seemed so easy for you too.

You bounded right up off the chair

And toward the dance floor you then flew.

You stopped and then turned back to me

Motioning for me to come along.

I caught my breath and followed

As in a dream or entrancing song.

I couldn't believe how fine you looked

Sculpted flawless by design.

From your pleasing autumn colors

To your smooth and shapely lines.

When we danced I was in heaven

Holding you securely in my arms.

The waltz was right on rhythm

I felt enchanted by your charms.

And then it had to happen

The night came to an end.

I'd go back from where I came.

What we had was just pretend.

I still think of you quite often.

If only you were with me now.

So I'm going to be back there.

We'll be together, I sure wish I knew how.

I turned and saw you there

Perched upon the stool.

You looked so gorgeous and sublime

And something else, particularly cool.
