Once upon a time we danced
with melody unchained
waltzing through the years and years beyond
our chances
yellow light upon the gray streaks
in our subtleness
lovers’ profiles deeply printed
in our loveliness
And shall we dance on as time proceeds

Now the old songs no longer play
old movies rotten
in piles of piles of Bystar hits
and still on we dance
and dance and dance
dancing through the days and days beyond
our days
with jazzy blue and hippy New Age
tangoing in our persistent romance
And should we dance on as time proceeds
