Dance With The Ladies

The ladies line up once they hear you are singing,

each batting an eye like they did long ago.

Now times moves so slow.

Veronica is still the one of your favor.

Your first wife you say as if there were many more.

There is only her...

Will you dance with the ladies who ask you to join them,

sing in their ear as you move them along.

Smile with your eyes when they tell you

they love you as long as you're singing their song.

When wishes are wrapped inside of paper napkins

and prayers are only answered by surprise,

you're a sight for sore eyes.

Will you dance with the ladies who ask you to join them,

sing in their ear as you move them along.

Smile with your eyes when they tell you

they love you as long as you're singing their song.

When waltzing Matilda is all you remember

from 89 years of a life lived so well,

all that you need is a partner to dance with

and share with you heaven and take you from hell,

They don't know your name

of who taught you to dance well.

They're seeing a man

that they loved when they were young.

Love's never undone.

So come dance with the ladies who ask you to join them.

Sing in their ear as you move them along.

Smile with your eyes when they tell you they love you,

As long as you're singing their song.
