Jenny Ha, “Shall We Dance?”

“Shall we dance?”
You whisper in my ear
Extend your hand
Tell me words I want to hear

.


Take a bow
As the music begins
Don’t lose me in the crowd
Keep me close with your grin

.


Spin me around
Look me in the eye
In your movements, let me drown
Stay with me tonight

.


As the others break away
Keep us in the center stage
Move with me like there’s only today
Hold the story on our page

.


Twist and turn me like a tornado
Lift me up to the skies
Ground me like fallen snow
Let me know that you are mine

.


Secure me in your arms
As the song comes to an end
Protect me from all harm
Ask me, “shall we dance again?”
