The Dance

The gray plump granny smoothes her hair
And her pale pink cotton gown
And drifts away to another day
To another time and town.

How many years now has it been
How many tears ago
When her eyes fell first upon that lad
Who had set her heart aglow?

She dabs the teardrops falling there
And lays her glasses down
And travels there to those days so fair
In another time and town.

She now beholds that vision clear
A brilliant budding Spring
With a promise of forevermore
And a glistening golden ring.

It's countless tears now since he's gone
Yet not a sun goes down
But she's proudly dancing with him there
In her satin wedding gown.

Her lonely days at last are done
True - she leaves this land of care
And she runs to him and takes the hand
Of her lad so debonair.

Now at last they are together
True - all trouble's now laid down
For now they're dancing there quite grandly
In that grand forever town.

Yes, together now forever
True - they're walking hand in hand
And midst the angels they're still dancing
In that grand forever land.
