small circles wound by clumsy feet
etch the dance floor to the slowed beat
the bodies held together tight
whirl away the passing night

heartbeats pressed together thud
quickening the pace of lover's blood
the pulses deeply pound
as feet begin to float above the ground

distancing themselves from the pack
the rest of the world fades to black
secure in each others grasp
the joy, impossible to mask

the smiles shine subtly sweet
lustful lips divinely meet
passionately embracing in flight
their hearts soar away, "wonderful tonight"
