Dance me to the end of love # Tribute

Where phrases ever meant so deep  
And romance softy sway  
This gravelled voice so casual  
That was the Leonard way  

Caught you up, wrapped you close  
Like breath upon the neck  
The cheek to cheek the slow waltz speaks  
When you hearts hear every beat  
 
And closeness is all being  
The rise and fall a clasp within each turn  
Our eyes now hold the rapture  
Of the violins that burn  
 
Feet that spoke like clouds of fluff  
Times hands that music slowed  
Circled, we were all and us  
The too and fro, that metronome  
 
Take me on the airs of beauty  
And tap my feet and words are mouthed  
 Both to sashay, stay forever welded slouched
Together the eternity, of fingers ever touched
