THE OLD COUPLE

THE OLD COUPLE
WORDS & MUSIC RICKY NICEWONDER

IN WHAT WOULD BECOME
A MYSTERIOUS SIGHT
AN OLD COUPLE CAME
IN THE BALLROOM ONE NIGHT.
FOR THE MOMENT THE 2 OF THEM
TOOK TO THE FLOOR,
STRANGE THINGS HAPPENED,
LIKE I'DE NOT SEEN BEFORE.

CHANDELIERS GLISTENED IN 3/4 TIME
WHILE A RAINBOW OF COLOR
FLOWED DEEP THROUGH THE WINE.
AND THE EYES ON THE PORTRAITS
THAT HUNG ON THE WALL,
SEEMED TO BE WATCHING
AS THEY DANCED AT THE BALL.

 

AND THE OLD COUPLE GRACEFULLY DANCED ON & ON
ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE SHADOWS THEY SPUN.
AGELESS & TIMELESS & FOREVER YOUNG.
A LIFE CELEBRATION AS RICH AS THEY COME
THE OTHER ONE KEEPING THE OTHER ONE YOUNG
YEAH, THE OLD COUPLE DANCED ON & ON.

 

 

I GAZED AT THE CLOCK WHILE SIPPING MY DRINK,
& WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS MAGIC.....I THINK.
FOR THE HANDS SEEMED TO BE
MOVING BACKWARD IN TIME,
WHILE THE TWOSOME GREW YOUNGER
AS THE MINUTES TICKED BY

 

 

AND THE OLD COUPLE GRACEFULLY DANCED ON & ON
ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE SHADOWS THEY SPUN.
AGELESS & TIMELESS & FOREVER YOUNG.
A LIFE CELEBRATION AS RICH AS THEY COME
THE OTHER ONE KEEPING THE OTHER ONE YOUNG
YEAH, THE OLD COUPLE DANCED ON & ON.

 

 

OOH THEY SPOKE IN A LANGUAGE
OF MUSIC & RHYTHM
OOH TELLING A STORY FOR ALL
WHO WOULD LISTEN,

WELL IT COULD HAVE BEEN REAL
OR A DREAM IN DISGUISE
WHEN THE FUTURE UNFOLDED
IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
FOR THE OLD GENT WALTZED BY ME
SO THAT I MIGHT SEE...........
THE FACE OF MYSELF,
LOOKING RIGHT BACK AT ME
 
 

AND THE OLD COUPLE GRACEFULLY DANCED ON & ON
ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE SHADOWS THEY SPUN.
AGELESS & TIMELESS & FOREVER YOUNG.
A LIFE CELEBRATION AS RICH AS THEY COME
THE OTHER ONE KEEPING THE OTHER ONE YOUNG
YEAH, THE OLD COUPLE DANCED ON & ON.
