She stands in the corner of the room
Holding her sisters pretty hand
Watching the figures float across the floor
Listening to an unknown band
Smiling and shy a boy comes
To steal her heart sister away
He was so love struck, how could she deny?
And again was alone to her own dismay
---
Across the room was a pretty boy
Staring at her through pretty eyes
She rolled her own and happily denied
Looking back to the ball with heavy sighs
Soon he walked toward her without a hint
That he had seen her dispassion to him
A beautiful hand held out to hers
And she gave him a look almost grim
---
Sighing loudly she sadly gave in
And regretted immediately her choice
For the fast beat became soft and slow
A singer with a romancing voice
She was pulled close to this boy
His eyes staring into her frightened soul
Her heartbeat pulsing oh so fast
Yet everything about him seemed control
---
He wrapped arms around her body
She felt powerless and slight
Mystery and something else shone in his eyes
Somehow making everything right
Soon she began to feel the flow
And gave into the spell of the dance
Willing her own arms around the boy
His stained glass eyes caught her in a trance
---
She continued to dance as the music dimmed
And she realized she never wished to stop
Suddenly engrossed and completed by him
Yet as the notes ended so his hands dropped
And he left her then, never looking back
She lied to herself saying she didn't glance
At the pretty boy who gave her a chance
The only boy whom she shared the slow dance
