Keeping Time
The Black Knight
In the shadows of the night
With the room light by flashing lights
Across the hall, around the world
I sit here and watch you twirl
Dancing to your heartbeat
Swaying hips and tapping feet
Snapping fingers keep the time
As your eyes shimmer and shine
My heart races faster
Dreaming of happily ever after
And then the rhythm hits my shoes
I can’t sit still watching you
The music brings me to my feet
Fingers snapping to the beat
The lights flash red and gold
Faster, making me grow bold
Carried by the music’s swell
Toes tapping what words can’t tell
Stories written by hips and feet
Syncopated heartbeats
And as our fingers keep the time
I watch your hand, wrapped in mine
With the room light by flashing lights
Across the hall, around the world
I sit here and watch you twirl
Dancing to your heartbeat
Swaying hips and tapping feet
Snapping fingers keep the time
As your eyes shimmer and shine
My heart races faster
Dreaming of happily ever after
And then the rhythm hits my shoes
I can’t sit still watching you
The music brings me to my feet
Fingers snapping to the beat
The lights flash red and gold
Faster, making me grow bold
Carried by the music’s swell
Toes tapping what words can’t tell
Stories written by hips and feet
Syncopated heartbeats
And as our fingers keep the time
I watch your hand, wrapped in mine
