lyrics

Sixty Years

He saw her on the platform
He didn't know her name
He couldn't go and ask her
That's not how you played the game

So he waited and he waited
And soon he took the chance
A friend she introduced them
And he asked her for a dance:

Can I take you my arms?
Can I lead you round the floor?
Can I hold you tight night after night and want for nothing more?
Can I make you dance with joy?
Can we dance away our fear?
Can we dance for 60 years?

She'd missed him on the platform
Didn't notice him at all
Strange when he was just her type
So handsome dark and tall


But when they started dancing
She knew he was the one
And then their dance of married life
Had happily begun

Sometimes they danced the tango
Then up to bed they'd creep
Sometimes he waltzed the babies
Round the room to help them sleep

Sometimes they danced the quick-step
Sometimes they danced the jive
When they rolled back the carpet
It felt could to be alive
