Dancing In Our Age

Just two front porches watching leaves fall down

Two quiet houses on the edge of town

We found our footsteps in the neighborhood hall

We didn't think we had a chance at all

Then came the coffee and the evening walks

The easy laughter in the twilight talks

Now you're in yellow for your seventy years

And I've got a suit on to hide my tears

I held my hand out,

asked you for a turn

You laughed and told me we were too old to learn

"At our age?" you whispered,

looking at your shoes

I said, "Especially at our age," what have we to lose?

And we spun in the center of the crowded floor

Like we

never had a heavy heart

before

With our friends all cheering in a golden ring

We found a melody we still could sing (oh we can sing)

We lived our stories,

we cried our tears

We didn't know we'd get these bonus years

But here in the spin of your yellow dress I find my

heart

saying yes As we

spin in the center of the crowded floor

Like we

never had a heavy heart

before With our

friends all cheering in a golden ring

We found a melody we still could sing (love can begin

again)

Especially at our age

Yeah, especially now
