Dance Eternally
Black and white and shades of gray
Haunt my every waking day
My present life a darkened haze
Masked by your memory
Shadows creep upon my wall
Swinging swaying down my hall
Dance a tune at death's grand ball
Calling out to me
Thoughts of you I can't erase
My lovers eyes and warm embrace
Or the paleness of your face
When death had set you free
But freedom hasn't come my way
Since your life slipped away
My broken heart's upon display
For all the world to see
How long must I live this way
In this world from day to day
Death be kind take me away
This is my only plea
I long for death to take me soon
And then a song plays in my room
Filling up my self made tomb
A song for you and me
You reach right through me with your hand
Guide me through my empty land
Waltz me softly to the band
I feel your entity
You slowly lead me on the floor
Swing me gently to the door
Encourage me to live life more
And let my hand go free
I take a tiny small step torward
A brand new life as I move forward
Turn myself back to the door
But you have gone from me
I blow you softly one last kiss
Knowing that our lover's bliss
Is something I will surely miss
But not eternally
For in the end I know it's true
In life's sweet death I'll dance with you
When my life on earth is through
For all eterninty
