Moments of the Dance



[Verse]
 * Oh dancing is a tonic
 * That sets you all aglow
 * Like bubbles of carbonic
 * When wine begins to flow


 * and once the dance you've started
 * it's hard for you to stop
 * you spin 'round turning o'er the ground
 * just like a human top
 * So let yourself just go.


 * You know when you hear the strain
 * You can't refrain

[Burthen]
 * Faster and faster as each step you master
 * in the moments of the dance
 * You get much closer and closer your fondness to show, sir,
 * for the moments of the dance,


 * Then slyly and wily your cheeks touch shyly
 * by the merest of chance
 * dearest lets dance


 * Old steps or new steps don't matter you see,
 * When you dance a few steps with me.
