Dance in the Evermore

The call came on a cool spring day
No surprise though it grieved me anyway
Many years and a slow decline
Almost relief when came the time

Never wavered for a moment from her side
For sixty years she was the apple of your eye
When your heart chose her all those years ago
Forever was something you just know

CHORUS
Cause those vows don’t ever break
Through sickness and the odd mistake
Though death make rend us apart
We carry them always in our hearts

The memories fill the room soft and sweet
Of her dancing light and silky on her feet
How you’d fallen in an instant for her charm
Of the pride you’d felt to have her on your arm

And as you stood there in your Sunday best
With her photo held tight against your chest
You sang your sweet love to sleep
With her your soul to keep

CHORUS

I took your hand and pulled you close to me
And you shook like you never shook before
And as you leaned in. Just barely breathin.
You said don’t cry love we’ll dance in the evermore

CHORUS out
