I Think We Were Never Strangers

I think we were never strangers- I think we were always friends; Standing shyly across the room Just waiting- to begin/ I think I dropped a curtsy I think you kissed my hand- And then we started in to dance Accompanied by the band/ Men and women dancing Is far older than the wheel; Older than the glowing fire Or the warmth that embers feel/ And we will go on dancing Till they turn out the lights- And we'll just go on whirling, whirling Until the stars say goodnight/ I think we were never strangers; For we met in each others dreams, And reality stepped aside for once In the playing firelight's gleam/
