Dancing at the County Fair

it was old time rock and roll
tunes that roused my sleeping soul

you bumped my hips, you laughed
you took my hand
then spun me round and round again
and fear and doubt and foolish pride
gave way to something deep inside

I smiled so big it shamed the moon
and even as the crickets crooned
the child that I used to be
came out to play
alive and free

the band rocked on, we twirled, we swayed
and all life’s cares fell far away

and on a night that could not end
I held you close

my precious friend

who brought me back to life

again
