At Last

I watched you from across the room

I couldn't turn away…

Everything within my heart

demanded that I stay...

I tried so hard to catch your eye

but others took your hand…

My chances seemed to slip away

I had to take a stand...

I walked up to you with a smile

my heart was beating fast…

I asked if you would dance with me

let's make this moment last...

You took me gently in your arms

and whispered in my ear…

I've watched you from across the room

at last you're standing here...
