I had finally beat my nerve 
To watch her on the stage 
Removing all her clothes 
Revealing only age 
Some men stared with a stun 
Some sat in married guilt 
That night I chewed a brick 
For ideals I had built 
And there we were in each other's arms 
The very 1st dance that seemed to last 
For ever

Our heads they almost touched 
Our feet beneath us moved 
Professional her dance 
And me the horses hoof 
The lights the beat the vision 
I'd conjured in my head 
Had magically appeared 
And disappeared again 

The music stopped we parted 
But only for a bar 
Off to the Bahamas 
Back into her arms 
The excitement of a kiss 
Quenched my lovers thirst 
We walked into the cold night 
A night to remember
