The Dancer

She whirled her dress in a flash of color

Lighting the room with her smile

And when she would leave the light grew duller

If only she would smile for awhile

She danced like a streak of lightning

Their heads turned trying to follow her style

Her dancing echoed with the CRASH of drums frightening

If only she would smile for awhile

The flowers seemed to bloom around her feet

As she lightly stepped down the aisle

She only had eyes for the pulsing beat

If only she would smile for awhile

When her dancing feet finally grew still

She gave the boy’s one last taste of her guile

And their eyes followed her and her skill

If only she would smile for awhile
