BIG BAND GIRL
I found your soul on a worn out cassette
taped as a final vinyl marionette
still dancing within a different mind set
Dancing within chance with your hand within mine
in my mind in a time left long behind
you kept spinning long enough for me to find
I was your man and you were my girl
still holding my hand as you continue to twirl
as the decades continue to whirl
The past has passed in a whirl
Time's spinning hand in a swirl
spinning forever for my big band girl
taped as a final vinyl marionette
still dancing within a different mind set
Dancing within chance with your hand within mine
in my mind in a time left long behind
you kept spinning long enough for me to find
I was your man and you were my girl
still holding my hand as you continue to twirl
as the decades continue to whirl
The past has passed in a whirl
Time's spinning hand in a swirl
spinning forever for my big band girl

Thank you David_Macleod. I ran across a cassette tape of some big band music taped from old vinyl records which were songs that my friend's mother loved. She lived in that era. That was the rebellious rock'n roll of her day back in the early twentieth century. The same as the future will hold living today.
