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