DANCE WITH ME, ON THIS LAKE OF ICE

Imagine this, you and I together,

out there alone, winter,

We look out upon the clouded

Skies that just rained snow.

Around the pine trees, around the

Frozen, glass-like lake,

Layered with this winter white,

Appears so cold, is beautiful.

A lonely place if not to be shared

With the company of love,

Such a wonderful spot in this

World to be, see it with your heart.

Do not be afraid, just take hold of

My hand, I’m holding you tight,

One step at a time, walk with me out

On this shiny, glass-covered floor.

Look at me, darling, right now the

World belongs to only us, my dear,

Hear the wind as the music is there,

Listen with me, listen to it,

Dance with me on this lake of ice,

We’ll dance until day turns to night.
