Dancing through time

V1
Even when the music stops    
we hear it still, our feet still tap      
the choreography of life well mapped        
balance and nuance steps, in noted flight
  
Chorus  
   
From the first beginning chords  
the lyrics awake and mime in quiet voice  
that register it rings a choreography performed  
link the era or its genre, pin our ears for that rejoice  
and in that time, held tight until it stopped  
the dying notes still hold you close  
with wishes ever locked  
      
 V2    
Did we in our childhood hop      
spinning  records grove would never stop      
a skipping rope beats a gallop      
 tap dance of steps, between the cracks  
 
Chorus repeat     
 
V3     
Clamped our headphones to our ears      
played air guitar with gestures weird      
cavort the years that were our  teens      
we were, that can of jumping beans
 
Chorus repeat
      
V4     
The ballet of the married pair so close      
not tread upon the others toes      
portray happiness in exaggerated pose      
all on points, of high's and low's  
 
Chorus repeat 
    
V5     
As we dance on into old age      
that gavotte, slows to walking pace      
will we dance, invited to, grand heavenly balls      
or forever leap, on the devils  hot coals
