May I Have This Dance?
In the beginning there was us
That’s the only thing that I’m sure of
I may not know what tomorrow holds
But I know I’ll be holding you
We don’t have long, we only have forever
Forever to hold this universe in my hands
So before our short sweet time is gone
I want to know: may I have this dance?
Your soft brown eyes and freckles spilled
Like paint across your cheeks
Are easily the most beautiful masterpiece that I’ve ever seen
And when you’re near me I’m somehow nearer to myself
So when you ask me how long I’ll love you darling
And I say forever and a day don’t be surprised
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life it’s that
In the beginning there was love
And I’m sure that love is us
I may not have all the answers
But I’m set if I have you
We don’t have long, we only have forever
Or at least as long as I breathe
And as long as we’re here I might as well see
If you would dance with me
Sunday mornings waking up
To your lips pressed to my cheek
I don’t think I’d ever leave this bed
If life would let me
You’re so gentle and so kind and how lucky am I
That you’ve picked me to walk life with you
I may be stubborn and a little scared too-
But I know that I’m better with you
Because in the beginning the sun made your smile
And moondust fell into your hair
And the stars they carried me right to your feet
And we fell in love, that’s the whole story
Just two souls together, chasing their forever
Though forever won’t be quite enough
So tonight all I’m asking is-would you like to dance with me love?
Would you like to dance with me love, I’d be lucky to dance with my love
