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
