Only Once (1:20)
by Rachel M.
 

Twirling, Twirling
Around the dance floor I go
Flying, Flying
Is how I feel with my partner

One step, Two step
Is how we move to the beat
Sliding, Sliding
Our feet barely leave the floor

Boom, Boom
Our hearts are beating to the music
Eyes locked to each other's
Knowing just how each move will go

My dress beaming like the sun
His tuxedo black as the nighttime sky
SilenceNow we part like two strangers

It has ended
We return to our seats
Never to see each other again
