- As I wonder about my life
I think of the path given me by chance
I reflect on what might have been
Were I'd be, if I had not missed the dance.
- I recall when I first saw you
Though, of me, you had caught the first quick view
How nervous I was, there in front
Ignoring the world just to impress you
- I recall you sitting across
Wishing I was there by your side instead
How we parted without kissing
Our hands never touched, words I left unsaid
- Back then, I was too shy to dance
But I still see how you would turn and sway
Dreaming of how you moved about
Would I do it differently today?
- But then it was time to go on
As I gazed upon your sweet smiling face
I peeked back as I walked away
Not wanting to return to my cold place
- When did this love start, fair lady?
Was it with my first note, or by the street?
Would you have still care for me now
If I had tried to sweep you off your feet?
- No, I wouldn't change a thing, then
Even if nature's laws would that allow
Because things might be changed for both
Because I like so much, where I am now
- The thought of children from our love?
Under your care (did you dream?) as my wife
How lucky me, how lucky they
To have you at the start of their new life
- Because we are one in our hearts
I don't desire change, that giv'n by chance
Now, still, learning to love jointly
So long, so long after the dance
